talk about bad luck,i was hurrying out the door to go to work slipped on the ice twisted my ankle real bad anyways i still went to work my ankle seemed to be alright but as the day progessed it started to really hurt,so i went to the hospital and they took x rays anyways i broke my ankle in two different places they gave me a shot of demerol,i should of told them that i am addicted to narcotics but i didn't my sick way of thinking was it is only one shot not only that but they gave me a rx for dilluad,i think it's some kind of morphine?i got the perscription filled but i haven't takin any yet,the shot is starting to wear off and my ankle is killing me,i am scared to death because this just opened the door for me to go through all this s*** all over again,i had almost 3 months without any narcotics,i don't think i have the strength to go through this again,i feel like a loser.... vinny.
Vinny, I always said that if I NEEDED pain pills, I would take them again - no question about it. Even after all I've gone through, I would never suffer through needless pain of, say, a broken bone or after surgery...
But I also know that taking them when needed and taking them the way we ALL take them are two different things.... So just know that they may bring some comfort, but you may end up going through a few months of hell because of it.
That said, you have to do what's right for you. You have broken bones in your ankle - Motrin or Tylenol won't work on that. Can you keep enough for only a few days and then flush the rest?

danielle, i know for a fact i will not take them like i am suppost to i really never have and this time will be no different,and as far as flushing them down the toilet i've done that one time in my life which was about 3 months ago don't think i can do it again?anyways i got an air cast on right now and i have to see a orthpedic surgeon just to make sure everything is ok,the er doc said it dosen't look like i will need surgery because it is just 2 hair line fractures that will mend itself in 6 to 8 weeks,when they gave me that shot even though i was in physical pain all my anxiety and deperisson was gone in an instant,i wish they had something like that that wasn't addictive,anyways i hope you are doing well,i have to go put ice on my ankle,maybe i should sleep with my foot hanging out the window tonight...........vinny.
Vin my man, be careful of dilluad. It's extremely addicting. I has shots of it IV when I was in the hospital. It way more than percs or Vics. Just a word of caution.
hello vinny I hope you feel better sorry for your set back .. try and have a merry christmas and if the pain pills make youe depression and anxity go away that would be hard to stop at the end of my pill takind I got panic attacks bad so the pills didnt do nothing for me ewll hang in there love poopie
Vinny, the only thing that has ever worked for me was to give the scrip to someone else to dispense AS DIRECTED. It was the last part that I just couldn't hold true to....maybe for a day, but then the jig was up. You know how it is. M.
last night was terrible!!! no sleep at all not only does my ankle and foot hurt it goes all the way up my leg,that pain med doesn't do nonthing but get me high,so i called the hospital and told them that it wasn't helping so they suggested i come back in so i did,i explained to the doctor that the medicine wasn't really helping and that i was addicted to narcoctis and his repley was for the severity of my injury that would be the best medicine to use along with the motrin 800 for the swelling,and also suggested na meetings when i'm better,it's almost like he didn't want to hear about the struggle i have with pain pills like that was a dirty subject,i guess i can understand where he is comeing from he is there to treat my injury not my addiction but that dosen't make it any easier,so i guess i'm back to square one........vinny
Vinny,
You really don't need the pain pills. Like you said they don't even do anything for the pain. So why don't you just flush them and then that's one less thing you gotta worry about.
Unless like you said you want to take them to get high but then if your doing that then your at the beginning again of being a drug addict and currently using drugs again for the purpose to get high.
Ice your ankle, take some motrin and give it time and you'll be fine. If I can have 4 surgeries for a torn colon and go home with NO pain meds, Im sure you can do the same with a sore ankle, unless your not strong enough to handle a bit of pain.

Vinny, I just had 4 bones broken in my foot and put back together in July and I know that feeling when the numbness wears off and you're left with that horrible crushing pain.... My foot throbbed and throbbed so much it made me want to cry.... In my case, though, the pain medicine DID work, so I kept on top with it and did okay.... But after it was over, my addiction was soooo bad (I was already taking pain pills every day so that when I truly needed them for pain, I had to take more because my tolerance was so high), so you have to decide whether you want to go through that again.
Keep your foot elevated and keep ice on it..... Stay off of it for at least a week... Anti-inflammatories work great for the swelling, a big cause of the pain (they sometimes make me throw up, though, so be careful).
If the pain pills aren't working, why even take them? I relapsed and here I am again, going through withdrawals once more..... Don't do that to yourself.

Besides, do you really want to lose your boner again????

Seems pretty simple to me, Vinny. Give the pills to your wife. Take away the anxiety of the situation. Let her give them as directed. If you want this bad enough, you'll do it. Otherwise we'll be talking to you in a couple of months as you go through withdrawals again and start all over. You're choice.

Fair enough vinny I feel bad about your injury and I hope you do have a nice Christmas.I hope you find away to have a hoppin(no pun intened)Christmas and a safe and happy new years....mj ps if you ever feel like talking I am here in the am so if you need to vent or whatever I'll try to help best I can
Vinny, we've all slipped up and made mistakes.... If you truly need the pills (and broken bones in your ankle sounds like you may), have your wife give them to you AS PRESCRIBED and then tell your doctor not to give you any more.
If this is just a relapse, the majority of us are not abandoning you.... We've been there.... That feeling to get high, especially around the holidays, is a big one and I want you to know that we're here to help.
You don't need to be angry.... we're not judging you..... You make the decision that YOU need to do to make your life better - only you can decide that.
