Unhappy sober in AA & on percs



Hi I am new to this site. I had major orthopedic surgery in March. broken leg, leg legnthened, sraightened, ankle chopped up to make a new joint. had the metal frame off late june. i am on 10/325 percs. my md told me my need is "high and xcessive" for meds and to see a pain service for chronic pain. i went thru this surgery to get out of pain.i've taken on 7-8 a day for 6 months and he never said anything about it. he says they will check on him ?fda) if he continues, does that sound right?now i take about 4 a day. i can't work in my very physically demanding job, but i am trying 4 hours. then the leg kills. i am trying to cut down. one day i had 2, most days 3-4. today 5. i find i am sweating alot and depressed. can't see the pain md until october. what are your thoughts?:wtf2
