| Drug Addiction & Cronic Pain?
Been w/this guy 10yrs he had a bad cocaine problem. He moved out 4yrs ago & we've been off & on since. He got busted 8mths ago & had no choice(due to probation) but to get clean, attend meetings & all the things that go w/being in recovery. I need advice. Live in pain & be with him or end it.
See..I have a cronic pain. It began as TMJ & after many years got worse now I have osteoarthritis in left jaw joint/bone on bone extremely painful to do anything even eat. For yrs I lived in pain 24/7 cuz I was to scared to ask for help thinking I'd be labeIed a drug seeker. Well in 2005 I sought help & had an MRI the Dr. couldn't believe I lived with that pain so long. I got put on low doses of narcotics... fast forward to today & a high tolerance. I take 60mg Oxycontin 3xday & (2) 5mg Oxycodone 3xday for breakthrough. I also take Feldene/Zanaflex & Amitriptyine. My pain is now 80% controlled but cuz my man is now off coke he wants me off the narcotics or else it's over for us. Any advice?
