Today is day 4 off of the pain medication, with no ill effects other than a little anxiety.
It was suggested that sometimes people project pain and have added anxiety when they know they are going to run out. This definetly happened. I will probably never be able to get anything for pain again that works. I will try to do some searching of myself.
Was I mentally or physically craving ? I dont think I was addicted and I definetly didnt get any "escape or high" off of the things. Christ they barely took any pain away at all. I truly hope this isnt going to be a longterm battle. The back pain seems to have subsided a little or at least for right now anyway. I will take the good days.
Speaking of which sitting in a crappy computer chair doesnt help ! llol
