Was in a near death car accident in December 2007 and my doctor suggested I go to a pain doctor for chronic pain. I refused then but 2 years later the pain was affecting my every day activities while raising 3 boys on my own because my husband died the same year at age 38 from cancer in April 2007. The car accident left me with 3 compound fractures that now I have metal rods in my whole left leg, my left arm also my wrist is fused. They put me on opiates short acting and long acting. Along with getting injections. Now addicted and some months run out!!! I tried to stop them and had major pain along with major depression and anxiety. I felt as if I was dying. So I took my meds and soon felt like normal again. I have prayed to God and asked for release from these meds but idk if God heard me cause now they have increased my meds to 30mg of OxyContin 3 times a day along with 15 mg of oxycodone 4 times a day!!!! Will I ever be free from pain pills controlling my body and mind???
