suggestions on pain pills

[Jmoney12345]

Thanks Fireplaces!!!! It was very tough and still is at times.. in fact, early in my recovery, I was pretty much on the pity potty.. did nothing but felt sorry for myself, took a lot of pain meds, and felt that a life of activity(work, social life, etc) was never in my future again.. after about 6 months of being in a wheelchair, I started walking again... probably about 6 months after walking, I got up off my butt and started exercising.. now, let me say, I was in terrible shape at this time.. as I stated, I was on my pity-potty, and my appetite consisted of mostly sweet foods... so, I purchased a gym membership and gradually built myself up from there.. I will make a statement that I read in a health book awhile back; people who exercise regularly associate eating healthier due to the hard work put into exercising.. well, this is true.. it's weird how it works psychologically, but most people that work out, begin to just naturally eat better foods... anyhow, it was extremely difficult getting off of the pain meds, and actually had to go to inpatient treatment to do that.. but overall, I'm a lot happier, am working a full time job now, and still am a gym junkie.. lol.. I guess I replaced my pain addiction with a fitness addiction.. may I add that I still do take meds for anxiety, which I suffer from greatly.. and I take a lot of supplements, guess that's just part of my addictive behavior.. lol.. but I share all of this mainly to inspire anyone that hasaybe recently suffering from extreme or chronic pain.. if u ever get that feeling like I had, the hopelessness on life, and sense that u will never be able to.do what u used to be able.to.do, u can overcome thsee feelings... and most likely can do more than u ever did before!! Keep hope alive!! I know I did!!!

And Fireplaces, thanks for the recognition.. it feels good to know we r family here, and when u guys compliment something I say or do, u wouldn't believe the effect it has and the drive it gives me to strive to be better each day!!!

Always strive for progress, not perfection!!!
