bad luck in vehicles

[notme42long]

When I was 23 we were traveling down I 95 in got ran off the road in rolled 3 to 6 * in a van. At 28 I got rear ended also in a van by a semi Wow I was stopped at a red light. At 37 I was hit head on by a drunk driver on my way home. The rollover on I 95 I was keeping my friends from bleeding to death the paramedics didn't know I was even in the accident The head on collision cause  my upper body damage and over a year of therapy degeneration to my entire back slowly go worst year after year. epidurals pain management. surgeons ha I walked out of his office actually when I said surgery was not an option he pushed me out of his office several doctors therapists in chiropractors later I ended up with opiates mri show 8 damage discs. 5 in the lower back 3 in the neck nerve damage and lots of soft tissue. I don't wanna consider surgery because 3 people I know had surgery 1 being my sister are all still in pain medication how many surgeries would that take. after 6 years of taking oxy in hydro I've had enough.
Day 7 almost time to jump in a hot shower get ready for work. Yesterday on the radio I heard something about a new procedure for spinal damage in boca raton. I hope I catch It on the radio again today. gotta go starting to cry my ears ringing. Ugh

Hi there. i have been on some sort of pill for pain for over 8 years. in the end i was on oxycontin. and i was crazy bad with my pills to the point of loosing my car. anyways. I jumped off of 240 mgs. whew. i shook sweated threw up...ran to the potty . bad bad bad detox. What i want to say to you is don't give up. never ever give up. this is so hard to beat. especially cronic pain patients. but pain is a good thing too. it is your bodies way of telling you to slow down. rest. and see your limitations. remember it takes a moth or 30 days to break a habit.

during this time be gentle with yourself. be kind and rewind..don't excpect miracles too soon. sometimes when we stop all our drugs we expect immediate recovery. but realistically we didn't become addicted overnight or in a week or a month. the journey is long. The work is hard but you are worth it.

This will be the second time in 6 years quitting the pills for myself I have tried a gambitt of therapies injections exercise short of having surgery that I am against. I was figured that the time would come that I would have to have some surgery but surgery will never it levi ate all the pain inevitably I'm back on the pills in the dose increases overtime and I hate it and here I am 7 days clean I am going to research any new alternatives I am currently alternating with ibuprofen and acetaminophen I am always extremely active but I will start exercise and stretch I want to thank you very much for your words my first 3 days this place was beautiful it helped me so much the last couple of days I thought I did something wrong on the site as far is cutting the shakes head off I'm not sure if I'm ready

Hang in there, I know it is so hard pushing through the cravings and pain of withdrawal.  I remember when I was at 7 days and now today I'm at 49 days.  Some really bad days in between there but I just take each moment as it comes - you've had more than your share of bad luck it sounds like - I'm so sorry for all the pain you are in.

Are you detoxing with help of your pain mgmt doc?  Does he/she know?  How do you plan on managing your pain moving forward?

I ask because it seems like the pain mgmt patients (myself included) that have some type of alternate pain plan seem to do better than just stopping the medication without a clear plan or at least some ideas - for me it helps me feel in control to have a "go to" plan.

Sending support your way!
