It's good to hear that you've got yourself set straight puddy ^_^
There is a lot of old school resistance to pain meds for a reason, as my dad always told me. Don't be offended if people go after you about it, people have different ways of being sober/clean and will of course disagree. As long as it helps YOU. My dad smashed both of his feet, to the point that they were practically bean bags. Around this time he started drinking again and they had him on a whole array of pain meds, ending up on oxy. He soon needed more than he was getting, and wound up on heroin. On the streets.
DONT JUMP ON ME ANYONE! I know thats not every case blah blah blah. It happens, and it is wise to avoid pain meds WHEN YOU CAN.
My dad isn't supposed to be able to walk or work in constuction, he does both. He is also 6 years clean now, doesn't take a damn thing for his feet (which are getting worse and the left one will eventually get amputated most likely) besides tylonal.
(I'm going to say 'you' a lot, that means anyone)
If you're willing to live with discmfort, you don't need to take anything. Then again, its up to your own inclination. My dad's a hardcore guy, you may not be able to do that and pain meds may be necessary. Myself, I probably wouldn't do that. But don't let anybody tell you you can't! My dad's feet are held together by bone fusion and metal screws, and he made a choice not to take any.
I don't see whats wrong with saying that pain meds should be avoided if possible.
