I was in a bad accident about a dozen years ago. There was a lot of pain due to a crushed leg. I was prescribed plenty of oxy but after awhile they sent me to a pain specialist. He told me his job was to make me feel good. I could have received quite a bit if I wanted it but I only used it until the pain subsided enough for OTC meds to do the job.
I can see how people get hooked on it.
I had a bad motorcycle accident about 12 years ago

My Brain Liked It
Part of me was partying
Part of me was scared to death of what comes next
Ask Rush Limbaugh...
It would have been much too easy to fall off the cliff
Switched to ibuprofen and Celebrex for a while
It was... unpleasant, but the right thing to do
