May I ask a question?
May I ask a question?
Night 3 sober wohoooooooooo. Only thing is I have a prolapsed disc am I ok to take my prescription meds such as tramadol? I've use ibuprofen rub but it's not working. Thanks In advance xxxx
In my opinion, if you've got a prescription drug, take it. If you're drinking don't.
I take five prescription drugs, but I've been sober for ten years.
It's never okay to take drugs while drinking.
If you have questions, ask your doctor not lay people.

don't want me taking any aspirin or aspirin like substitutes. I only use it every two months or so.
I've heard a lot of contradictory advice from lay people in AA. Some are into no prescription drugs at all. I don't take that seriously. I would listen to my doctor. He knows my history, and he's cautious about prescribing anything. He knows me, and I trust he wouldn't do anything to jeopardize my sobriety or my health. I think this probably would hold true for you to. If you have adverse effects from anything, let him know.
I had to take one as the pain was bad. Went to bed about 30 minutes after as I dont like how they make me feel.
Back wise my disc has slipped for the third time well what's left of it xx
We use our recovery programs to help us
remain sober day after day. And we use
our physicians accordingly working honestly
with them, letting them know that we are
in recovery for our addictions and that if
any kind of meds are to be prescribed that
it is not narcotic or habit forming.
Do your research and ask questions as
to know what is addicting and could keep
us sick in addiction. Get a second opinion
if necessary.
We need our doctors or physicians just
as we need our recovery programs to help
us achieve a healthier, happier, honest
quality of life to enjoy moving forward.
Sober and clean way of life.

When I got sober, one of the promises I made to myself was to have good drs, be honest and do what they tell me.
We do encounter stuff that we need drs for, so I'd encourage you to go and be honest. Sober, I can make clear decisions about my care.
Glad you are here.
Yes, be honest with your doctor. Feel better. I have degenerative disc issues and they can be miserable. With my doctors I have sought alternative treatments to opiates, personally... while I've never been addicted to narcotics, I sure do like how they make me feel. And that's a big red flag for me. I avoid.
