BTW, I live in Massachusetts and go to the Mass General Back Bay Health Center. It's considered conservative and the pinnacle of state-of-the-art medicine. I was given oxycodone for fairly severe pain in my back/hip. They watched me move, took MRIs, gave me steroid injections, and continued to increase the dose of oxy.
Now, I have no life. The irony is that I was always made fun of for being too much of a "good girl" - no drugs or smoking (can you believe I have never smoked anything?) I was a terrific student and a great mother.
Now, I have NOTHING. My kids won't talk to me at all, my husband divorced me, and I live like a hermit.
I don't work; I can't work. I feel like I am being consumed all the time.
I am beginning to consider a lawsuit. This is very, very wrong.
