Okay, so, I'm not sure if this is exactly the right place to go, but I found this website off a search engine and found some of the answers to be helpful. I am 20 years old, and I do not abuse drugs. I have, however, had a generous number of prescription pain medications in the past few months. Mainly, for oral surgery, as I had an impacted wisdom tooth that was infected.
My oral surgery was a little over a week ago. I also have problems with tendonitis in my right foot, and I have been experiencing pain and tightness in the arch of my foot so I saw a doctor at an urgent care center for a podiatrist referral and temporary pain management until I could be seen. I do not abuse drugs (I'm not in denial; I simply have no interest in taking something with more Tylenol than narcotic and winding up on dialysis), but I am concerned that because I was given pain meds so close together, that I will be "red flagged". Any thoughts? I'd be willing to take a drug test or whatever is needed, I just don't want to end up not being able to be treated properly for pain when I have it.
And, for reference, what brought this up was an article in a magazine. Maybe I'm naive, but I just need thoughts/opinions. Thanks guys :)
