I agree with Deserteyes as far as not considering it a relapse if we take a med as directed under the close supervision of our Dr. I finally got to the point with this pain from my fractured pelvis that I could no longer stand the pain. When I couldn't eat, sleep, and would actually vomit because the pain was so bad, I had to do something. There's no sense in torturing ourselves when we have legitimate pain and besides, if I would have let this go too long, I very well could have relapsed by taking several pills and not as directed. Getting some pain meds was an extremely difficult decision to make but one I could not put off any longer.
