I Broke My Tail Bone, This Sucks...

Hi all, i just wanted to ket you know what happened today, i was taking my storage stuff downstairs to store it and i tripped and fell on the cement stairs , right on my a**, and elbows and had to go to the doctoe and they did x-rays and i boke mu butt bone, OMG, does it hurt! i am in so much pain,i am not on pian pills , but am thinking about it and of course i will not be holding them, but i know i am gonna need them, this hurts like a b****, i have the wrose luck!, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I am so pissed off!!!

what should i do instead any iseas, other that the ovious???, thanks all... jazzy
OH, this sucks for you.....I have thought the same thing....what if I get hurt? Damn, I don't know what you can take non-narcotic that would help with the pain. BUT, if you do start up the pain meds you will be starting all over again.....did the doc give you a prescription????? What about the 800 mg. motrin? I know it won't work as good as vic.....but it is something. You are going to have to be very strong if you want to stay clean. Cuz now you have a reason to use. Please be careful. I had a cracked tailbone once and it hurts like (*&(*& really bad.
Jaz, God that realy sucks. But life is horrible on my end to. I dont want to bore you with the details so go to my post that i wrote "i need to vent" and you can read about what kind of crap im in now!!!

Hey at this point, after breaking a tail bone and haveing your husban leave you, who wouldnt take the pills??? BUT AND I MEAN BUTTTT(ha, ha, ha) i still would stay strong for as long as you possiblely can.


Your friend , Christina
What are you going to do?
Jasmine....how are you? I am keeping tabs on you....will you tell us if you take pain meds???
Ya, im curious too, whay r u going 2 do?????


Christina

P.S. Did anyone read my post???? I need help too!! is any one out there. Hey, jaz are you still there ???
Christina....that really sucks about what happened. Very traumatic. Your friend sounds like trouble. Sorry to say that and I am so sorry she got into that situation, but it sounds like she is in a very abusive relationship and she needs to get out. It isn't uncommon for someone to put the blame on when they are abused. That would be you right now. It is sad and sick.....try to steer clear. Your life is busy enough. I feel so bad for you.
i am here, i am not currently on pain pills ,bit they had to give me a shot of Demerol, and i feel like s***, lopy and as far as pain killers i am going to have to take them but my mom is willig to hold them and give them to me as needed this is wayyyy to much pain to deal with only on Motrin , so my doctor offered me oxy's or norcos??, i am noy sure yet which one yet, as i am ok for today or atleat for a few hours from the shot, but to be honest i am so sleepy i cant keep my eyes open, i need to sleeep, i promise i will keep u all poste and thanks for the love and convern, keep posting, jasmine:(.....
Hey, thanks for answering. Ya, im starting to think that im done with her, but my heart realy does go out to the kids in this situation. Iv already called them 4 times and i have only been home for about 2 hours. I gave the oldest one my cell phone, just in case he needed to call anyone for help. I cant figure out why the police are letting them stay at the hospital yet. Im afraid to make another call. No... Im NOT going to make another call to the police, i see what can happen with that. But the last anyone knew, they were gonna come home with me and my family and stay here. Thats all changed now. I wonder what will happen to them??/

Thank again for talking to me.

Christina

P.S. Sorry for cutting in on your post Jaz. Where did you go???


I know exatly what yur going through I make custom bracing for people who have suffered fractures and prostheses for amputees unfortunetly the is not much that can be done for a coxyx FX. I had 6 months clean last year then dropped a 40 pound anvil on my foot pain was excruciating dr gave me demerol but it didnt touch the pain so this is when after 5 years of refusing to go on class 2 drugs I finally told my pain dr I would go on morhine and you know the rest. Some stupid therapist I was seing at the time was telling me I should have told the orth dr in the er i was an addict and that they have a cream that can penetrate the skin and take the pain away. I didnt tell him but I knew it was BS no cream even if used with DMSO could take the pain away by penatrating the skin and I personally knew the ortho dr and got referrals from him so I wasnt going to tell him. Plus then what would I have been given tylanol who knows but you might have to give your pain pills to someone yu trust and have them doled out to you . We are still human beings and to have to suffer unnessesarily is inhumane. Of course we must be vigilant. One of the best addictiion drs who is in miami told me the best thing when an addict needs pain meds for short term is to try to stay in the hospital and have the drs give you liquid dilaudid as it passes through you system very clean . He said every one of his patients over the years that had there drs call him and took his advise stayed clean the ones who didnt call or just took what they were given relapes. Im so sorry this happened you will have to carry a doughnut pillow with you but if you are really suffering have someone give you the pills Best wishes Ray
Thanks Rae for your story, very helpful i appriciate it and best wishes to u as well sweetie, jasmine..
Jaz- my advice is if you need then for legit pain, then take them. And have your Mom or someone else hold them. I mean, pain is pain. I'm not justifying you using, since I believe you when you said you got hurt. Just know your addictive personality, and have someone help you. It's going to be a little rough ride. If you go into this with your eyes open, they will be open when you come out. I asked my Doc for a non-Narcotic pain reliever for my pain, and he said with the amount of pain I have, there is nothing. BUT, I'm still tapering off. And I've only taken them for 90 days. But I know I can get hooked. And easy. So PLEASE be careful. I also understand your paranoia about taking anything. Heck, I get paranoid taking an aspirin. Just DONT do it alone.
Jazzzzzzzzz...

If the pain is unbearable then you have no choice but to take the pain med. After all...that is what they are for...pain. But, you need to have somone hold them for you. Only take exactly what is directed. Hopefully you won't feel bad after you are through taking them. That would really suck....going through withdrawals after legitimit pain. No fair. I had demoral in the hospital...it does make you sleepy but it took away the pain.....my favorite was always the percs or Norco .........ugh.........take care....your poor butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OUCH
Come on you don't need the pills. Thats just a reason to want to use them.

If I can go without pain pills and I have a fractured back, moderate/severe osteoarthritis and many compressed vertibrates in my neck and they want to do surgery! I do have lots of pain but I use other ways to deal with it.

I say don't take the pills. You'll just have another addiction problem on your hands.
I think if I got hurt right now I would probably take the pills. I know how weak I am right now. It would take a lot....like my husband having the bottle and saying I can't have them for me not to take them. I don't trust myself one bit. Please be careful .... try not to take them.
Kiwi- what do you take for the pain? Maybe that would help her.
jaz- Oh my, That SUCKS. I can't believe it. And just after your mouth problem. I don't know what it feels like, but from working in the medical field, and watching many patients have spine surgery without taking any narcotics durring recovery, I think you can do it. Try as HARD as you can NOT TO TAKE THE PILLS. If you don't have them, you won't take them, then you won't have to go through withdrawl.
PLEASE really think this through. You have come so far, and if you can make it through this with out the meds, you'll be able to make it through just about anything.
