You are walking on a path that will lead you into much more pain than physical, trust me. Opiates only work for a while, then it's time to find another answer. I don't know what will work for you, but snorting opiates is not it. What's the plan when the snorting doesn't work, iv? There's no end to the game you are playing. Even if it does no physical damage, and you get meds that are more pure, you will not find long term physical relief. You will find long term problems in your life though. Are you interested in some of the other ways people here deal with pain? Would you like to get off opiates forever? We are here for you if you're interested.

You need to take your pain meds as directed by your doctor. Youmare on a very slippery slope right now. If your stomach is upset, talk to your doctor and he can give you something for that.
