yeah, I have been through 12+ surgeries and 2 jpouches. I get pains all the time, probably adhesion pain, but I cannot ever get any kind of pain meds. I did have a short stint with pain management in the past and they were only giving me 5mg oxycodone qty 30 a month. I actually needed 10mg to even take the edge off most times. So I had to ration those pills. Some days I would not take if pain wasn't horrible just to have more for the bad days. Then I had to go down to main campus every month and get urine test and questioned like crazy to make sure I wasn't abusing. It was ridiculolus and I just stopped going and I just try and deal with the pain.. I shouldn't have to, and this is BS. I had no issues ever coming off of those pils aor the ton of pain meds they had no problem pumping into me while in the hospital.. I do not have an addictive personality either so it hasn't been an issue for me. I am seeing pain management again for my lower back pain as well as PT. I go back next month for a followup so I am going to talk to doc about if any chance I can go back on something. Maybe ask about Tramadol?? I really don't know too much about it.... is it easier to get prescribed??
