addiction
Hello everyone. I am having a problem. I had a work injury a few months ago and I am taking Vicodin. I have 3 herniated discs in my back and I am soon having back surgery. The medicine really helps the pain, but I am worried about becoming addicted. I have had addictions in my past and I am now a year sober. Is this going to ba a real problem? I am afraid. If I am addicted, how can I stop? I keep hoping I can wean myself off.
sounds like you are in a lot of pain.....talk to your doctor about it...you need or will need something after surgery so i would tell my doctor about my fears and see what he/she sudgests..be honest with him or her...there might be alternatives but talk to the doc!.....the doc can help you get off of stuff when it is time....good luck...don't be scared
