lol tramadol, there off brand of ultram. kind of a weaker script. a synthetic opiate really. percacets are fun. idk if ur really n that much pain oxy all the way. i dont like em personally they make me itch 4 hours. better then tramadol..... i pop those like pez man

i dont take my pain relief to get high, and also the meds im on have never made me high

Yea I don't take em to get high either. I wish I didnt need em, but I would literally have to lay in bed all day, if I had nothing at all

same here, without the pain meds i couldnt get out of bed, it sucks. somtimes i guess i wish they did give me a high as id cope with the pain better, but im so tolerant to pain meds now, nothing gives me a buzz

Yea, when I had my C`section with my son they gave me morphine and It didnt do a thing for me. NOTHING!!! I think the nurse gave me like 6 doses till finally see gave me a shot of something I forget what it was. I thought for sure morphine would have knocked me out

morphine doesnt touch me either, or fentanyl, even i/v

I have had three epidural injections and now no pain!!!
I can only have 3 a year , but it has worked for me!!!
I was on every pain pill there is for 6 years until a "SMART"
doctor told me about this. Good Luck to you!

I got involved with some natural supplements, 6 yrs ago. Found some alternatives to pain & also helped me improve my quality of life. Am now healthier than I was, lost 30 lbs & enjoy life much more.

if ya get high then you dont need them

the pain counter acts the feeling of getting high

just a thought

but hey what do i know

thats what i said, I DONT GET HIGH AND I NEVER HAVE. i hate anything that makes me feel funny, so im lucky else i wouldnt be able to take them.

talking of pain pills i think there pretty crap anyway, even when i take df118 and demerol and indometacin together im still in severe pain, if my pains a 10, with pain pills my pain would be a 8, and sometimes i think why am i taking this crap. when i was in hospital for 3 weeks i had 5 to 6 i/m injections a day of demerol, in total over a 100 injections and i didnt care because they helped the pain better, so hopefully pain mangament will change me over to demerol sub cut, where i inject it myself under the skin around 5 times daily. this is my only chance of getting the pain controlled, i just wish they would get off there ass and see me!!

im a little concerned as to why i couldnt feel most of these i/m injections, because there meant to be painful, something must be up with the nerves in my back, as i get a lot of tingling and ive stood up before and totally lost sensation in my back and legs and ive fell splat on the floor, this as happened a few times, i will mention this to pain management when i see them. its a mystery to why my back is like this and why i get terrible back pain.

I know so manyyy people that are addicted to pain killers. It's really sad because around here you can by a tab for $3 off the street. Be very careful if you start any meds....follow dose instructions wisely.

They gave me vicodin after my knee surgery. They were making me fall asleep. I needed to get back to work soon so I just stopped taking them. Also, I didn't want to get addicted.
My friend is on some sort of patch for chronic pain.

Try soaking in a bath of as hot a water as you can stand with 2 cups of Epsom Salts dissolved in the water. Worked quite well for me when I herniated a couple of discs in my lower spine.

holistic medicine good,
scrip dope bad

There are two types of painkillers. In layman's terms, some painkillers go to the brain and tell the brain there is no pain. Others go to problems such as inflamation, fluid, swelling and the like and relieve it. See your doctor because it is possible that you might need to take both type of painkillers. You should get an MRI, which will indicate if you have swelling, inflmation, fluid, or whatever in that area.

Whatever you do, do not experiment on your own. See a doctor.

I have had an MRI, and I have bulging. I have degenerative disc disease, amongst other things!

Are there other options, like surgery?

Not directed to the OP, but it is really sad to read how many people abuse opiates. You have no idea how this kind of addiction can fvck up your life. Or, how difficult it is to kick.
