There's no treatment on this planet I haven't tried.


Isnt part of withdrawal from opiates extreme pain? How do you know you aren't addicted?
It's the exact same pain and level of pain I had before I got onto the pills. When i wasn't on them I'd be taking 1g. accetaminophen and 1g. ibeprophen, plus 200mg celebrix every day, and I was still in too much pain to have any kind of life. I'll give tramadol that, it enabled me to have a life.

Besides that, I never crave it, I don't get the sweats, shakies, or insomnia.


Welcome to my world.
You too eh. It really gets to wear on you mentally after years of it, doesn't it? What do you have?


What kind of pain are you having?
I don't know if I still have the initial soft-tissue damage from my initial injury 5 years ago, but there's definately lots of nerve damage throughout my back, neck, and spine. The front of my torso is the only area that doesn't hurt.
