They do? They make me feel like shit unless I have pain. They make me very tired and woozy. I don't really understand why you would want to take them if you weren't in pain.

I only take them recreationally. Taking them for pain seems like a job.

Medical marijuana is what you need. **** those pills. (You can send them my way to dispose of them properly)

I went from not functioning at all or even being able to get off the floor and walk without help and serious spasms to a dull pain I could manage enough to care for myself. When the spasms stopped and the pain decreased to a dull manageable pain I just quit taking them. I will say I have never in my life slept better than I did on Hydrocodone. Insanely good sleep, but never a feeling of addiction. On the other hand, I have a friend who I'm pretty sure can relapse at the mere sight of a prescription bottle. Having very different personalities, upbringings, and genetic backgrounds surely plays a part in it. |

Not once has weed ever taken away my pain.

How many times have you taken hydro or oxy? Was it on an empty stomach? |

If people ITT are looking for an alternative to opioids for pain, I’d suggest looking into Kratom.

In my little experience (after I didn't bounce, I slept over night with 3 broken ankle bones with a little ibuprofen) I can compartmentalize the pain in a box and put it in a corner of my brain. Even with my small issue, it is DRAINING...physically and mentally. I can't imagine nor want to try to imagine your situation!! I guess pain and the interpretation of pain is different and malleable to each person. Hats off to you! Quote:

I've broken my ankle too.. That shit hurts. Really ****ing hurts. I absolutely took the Vicodin they prescribed me. I think, like you, it was something like 5-7 days? |

Oh, I'd actually missed the 200mg ibuprofen comment at the end of your op... They do make 800mg that your doc could call in, or alternatively you could take up to 4 of the 200s at once twice a day. I've found those to be useful over the years for my various breaks, sprains, the time I dislocated/separated/tore rotator cuff, and aches from rupturing one, and partially tearing another, ligament in the same ankle I broke once and sprained several times afterwards. Aleve also works wonders man once the initial pain subsides
Side note- my ankle became permanently weak after I broke it at 13. I've seriously rolled/sprained my ankle walking in a straight line because it's still, 22 years later, so weak. So do be prepared for that possibility |
