97 days clean so far

[norco_no_more1960]

I meant to post here when I reached the 90 day mark but things at work were too busy for me to be able to do so.

I think I am past the point of having phantom pains - at least I hope I am.  But, the underlying injuries that I have are really starting to get to me.  Sometimes the pain in my knees and ankles are so much that I feel like I lurch around instead of walking around.  

I saw my pain management doctor today and he prescribed Mobic for me - 7.5 mg.  I have not been able to take motrin for many years.  I can occasionally take naproxen or aspirin so I'm hopeful that Mobic will work for me.  Do any of you know anything about it?

I have a pretty good support system in place, people who know what I am doing and why and who care about me.

I am really grateful for this forum because I would never have made it through withdrawals if it wasn't for you kind people here.

Just think how much better you would feel if you came and cleaned my house too!!!  lol

You really did go thru quite a time when you detoxed but you stood strong.  Keep it going~~sara

As I was told here, I did all of a sudden start to feel like my old self a couple of weeks ago.  My mind is starting to work more like I remember it and I'm starting to get some energy back.  The other day I was able to start cleaning my house and not feel like I was dragging myself around.  For a while I really worried if I was ever going to get energy back - I know it was more than 60 days before I did.  I know I was told here to be patient, but that is sometimes hard to do.  Thanks for your help everyone.

I did not know it was available in a suppository form.  That may really be a good answer for me since I have had problems with a very sensitive stomach.  Thank you so much.

Currently I am not doing acupuncture.  My workman's comp insurance will not pay for any more and I have not been able to afford it out of pocket.    But acupuncture got me through the worst part of going off of narcotics.  I will try to be here more often thank you very much.
