So I am recovering from Hydrocodone addiction. My Dr has prescribed Oxycontin, hydro,ultram, and lidoderm patches(non narcotic). I am refusing to take any of this due to my addiction. I havent taken the Oxy for a year cuz it makes me feel sick. The hydro is my DOC, and the ultram supposivley has worse WD's and addiction than the other two drugs.

My question is for people with injuries that are not going to go away, what do you use for pain control?

Currenly I am using ibuprofen in high amounts but that cant be healthy either. Lidoderm patches work a little bit,but really are only a topical numbing agent.

Id rather have pain than addiction,but this pain is getting pretty damn bad while being off of drugs for 3 days. On a postive note, my old self is slowly returning.
