Ok... I'm brand new to this board and am so lost. This is my situation: I broke my leg recently in three places... my tibia, fibula and also 2 bones in my ankle. I had surgery, but in the mean time I was given a script for percocet to manage pain until my surgery. Then AFTER my surgery was also given percocet for pain as that's the only drug I can take that doesn't irritate my stomach. I've been taking an average of 7 pills a day of the 5/325 pills since 11/18 of this year. could I be addicted? My symptoms are only showing at night, and I don't even really know if they're symptoms. I can't sleep because my arms are achy. That's the only way to describe it... ACHY. Not muscle spasms, but they just ache. I've been struggling because I don't know if the reason for that is because I've been laying on my back for the past month and almost a half without using those muscles, then when i use my crutches during the day, it seems to worsen at night. The more activity in the day on my crutches means more achiness at night. I'm scared that I may be addicted nevertheless... PLEASE! Any insight would be much appreciated! Lyssa
