That's a bit of a pickle because that's pretty much exactly what I'm saying: Don't fill a script for narcotics unless my doctor confirms that I REALLY, REALLY LEGITIMATELY (DID I SAY REALLY?) need the script.

Believe me, the thought of having to need pain meds makes me very afraid to have the surgery. The obsession gets so unbelievably overwhelming and my powerlessness in the face of that obsession is a mere few days removed from me. So, I'm in dread of awaking the monster once it has been successfully quieted -- so much so that, ultimately, I may choose to curtail my activities in order to tolerate the chronic pain indefinitely.
