Hello, new to board, wanted to just tell my story. Not sure how i hurt my lowwer back, but about 2 years ago it started. Had Mri's and Doc said I had a slight bulge in L4 -L5. The pain was constant. Fam Doc put me on percocet at first than all the way up to 80mg oxycontin 2 pills 3 times a day. It started to get out of hand and i was taking even more than that.
Eventually I felt like the pills were counter productive. I would take them and 4 hours later my pain would be double, than 4 hours later the same thing. I was like a zorabie on these pills, couldnt go to the bathroom, made me sick to my stomach, the worst. All i did was sit on the couch and watch tv waiting for the pain to come back so i can pop more oxys
So I decided to just stop cold turkey. I was losing everything, my fiance, my money, my life. So I was pill free for a week. The first 3 days were hell on earth, but by the 7th day, I felt the best i had in 3 years. It so happen that I had a doc appointment that day as well. I was going to get surgery, but i felt so good that i went in and told her i was feeling great being off the pills. So i left without asking for surgery. Low and behold, everyday after that the pain would pick up. It would come and it would go, and I would be able to handle it, but than everyday the pain would creep up on me and get worse and worse untill it was at the same level as before. So here I am, between a rock in a hard place, because i want to stay clean, but i am in soooo much pain. So much pain I was miserable this past weekend, and my fiancee is telling me im miserable, but she wants me to stay off the meRAB. So what do i do, i go and take a pill. I didnt go overboard and take 12 of them, I took 60 mg and what a relief. I finally felt ok again. I wasnt miserable, and i felt good for the day. So what do I do? i though after the withdrawl I would be fine, but I still have this agonizing pain. I am only taking about 60-80 mg oxy in morning, and same at night. I can funtion, and I feel good. But im just so frustrated cause i really thought I was home free after having a pain free day last thurday. Anyone experience this?
