Today was the first time I felt like taking narcotics, for legitimate pain. I have never had such severe back pain in my life. The reasons I know about. I plan to call my pain management doctor first thing in the morning. But, today, I was ready to say, "F*** it" to the guidelines in the program and ask for narcotics in the ER. I spoke with my therapist and my sponsor, and was up front about my addictions/alcoholism when I got there, and when I met the Certified Nurse Practitioner. I was prescribed a non-narcotic pain med that has helped in the past, and a non-addicting muscle relaxer.
When the physical pain is bad enough, the recovery takes a back seat, and all I want is relief. So far, so good. The meds are helping.
