Surgery, plates and screws. I have a bottle of Oxycodone 5 mg x 42 pills. 1 pill every 4 hrs.

So the question is how does a person become addicted to these suckers?
I still have 5 more weeks in the cast, then 2-4 in a boot.
Tomorrow, I'll see if just ibuprofen 200 mg will do.
Do they use get high? Trips? Or is there pseudo pain that people use to feel better?

If the pain makes you feel like you aren't taking anything then you won't get addicted. When they start making you feel GOOD then you need to cut it back.
Remember, addiction and physical dependency are different. Addiction is mental, dependency is you body. You can get over physical dependency after a few rough days. It's the addiction you need to avoid. The
feeling good is what you want to avoid.
