After an L-5 fusion in 2008, my life as I'm knew it,was pretty much over. Starting off on oxycontin 80 mg twice a day, i soon had a high tolerance for pain medicine.
Most doctors start by prescribing the no relief meds, and work their way up. By years end, ten mgs of norco every 4-6 hours isn't much, doing more damage to my liver(hepc) than its relief of pain.
It's easier for me to purchase stronger medicine such as 60, 100, even 200 mgs of morphine off the street, than it is dealing with the painful dreaded trips to the doctor's office, (waiting room overcrowded,etc). Where is there a doctor for someone such as?
