Day 2 - I had a dream last night that I had a bottle full of pills, and I was struggling to make the right choice, but ultimately didn't take anything. I don't have any dire physical withdrawal symptoms, it's mostly very mental. I can't find interest in anything, so I'm just lying on the couch watching TV, feeling miserable.
The dangerous date will be next Friday, when I would normally be allowed to refill. My wife and I discussed emailing the doctor, stating that I'm going to try and deal with my pain without the pills. I didn't want to admit addiction to the doctor, because I would imagine they flag you, and if I ever have any serious medical issues that require pain management, I'd prefer to have that option available. Thoughts?
As for the pain itself. I'm taking an anti-inflammatory every day and Ibuprofen, which makes it tolerable.
