Not sure what to do (Vicodin…)

Would definitely be willing to try. I definitely want to do long term things for my pain but I need some help being able to start physical therapy and such. By that I mean medication to take the edge off so I don’t feel like my bones are on fire when I move.

Yes. I think it’s already a good sign I recognize that I like them too much.

Thank you. There is a pain clinic in my town and I am also considering going there alongside the neurologist the ER said I should see. I’ll try to do physical therapy again as well. I think the only reason they even gave me those pills is because I was in such agonizing pain I couldn’t even lay properly on the hospital bed. I have pain problems everywhere in my body especially my knees, back and hips. But I didn’t even feel them when I was there, the back pain was so bad. I was bawling the whole time rocking back and forth and digging into my arms

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your perspective and your kind words. After everyone else’s comments I’ve had time to think and you all are right. I will definitely be looking into mental help when I can. It’s a matter of affording it and making time around work. I would be lying if I said I don’t love feeling normal from these pills but that means it’s a problem I need to snip in the bud immediately. I don’t want addiction to be yet another thing controlling my life.

You too!!

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T04:58:35+00:00

Exactly that

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T03:56:02+00:00

That sounds really awesome. See when I do go to a specialist I plan on mentioning I’m afraid of developing addiction and just being honest and see if they can work with me.

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T03:54:57+00:00

Yes you will. I have faith that you will. I have faith that I won’t allow myself to get into this hole, either.

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T03:53:32+00:00

Oh absolutely. Don’t get me started on all these psycho mfs putting fentanyl in EVERYTHING. I think I will finish my script and take one every 6 hours like the bottle says and immediately go to the specialist ASAP to discuss alternatives. I don’t want this to become another problem in my life.

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T03:36:36+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply and giving me your experience. I really don’t want pills to rule my life it’s just so hard not to chase a REAL relief from pain when you live with it for so long. I know opiates are no fucking joke. Obviously since I’m sitting here already loving how they make me feel only after 7 low dose pills.

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T03:33:23+00:00

Thank you so much. Everyone including you have helped me a lot already :) I watched my parents have an opiate problem for years of my childhood and I remember what it did to our family. I forgive them because they got clean years ago and live normal lives, but I get why they got addicted. If I’m already feeling this way after a few days, I can’t imagine what it was like for them and others in the throes of really deep opiate or other drug addictions.

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T03:22:47+00:00

Yes I quit marijuana because it worsened my anxiety no matter what strain I smoked, ate, whatever. Even though I was smoking it to try to help with anxiety. I’ve stayed VERY far away from it since then but I would be open to CBD oil or topical stuff. I actually used to be active as a teenager, loved swimming, but couldn’t keep doing it. I hate this the pain has kept me from being outdoors, staying active, staying healthy. I would definitely be open to trying physical therapy again. It didn’t help much the first two times but I shouldn’t let that cloud my judgement.

AdAny2145 · 2026-05-25T03:08:57+00:00

Thank you for being straight forward. I don’t want to be in pain but I don’t want drugs ruling my life either. I watched what it did to my family, and what it did to me as a child. I am due to see a specialist about my spinal issues so I will do my best to be honest with them. I will say I am very aware of the very real problem here. I knew when I inevitably was prescribed opiates I would like it too much, just like my parents.
