Busted ankle and Opioids
My big dogs were playing with me while I was on a sheet of ice. Boom goes the dynamite!
Surgery, plates and screws. I have a bottle of Oxycodone 5 mg x 42 pills. 1 pill every 4 hrs.
The day after op, I was popping them like candy. Helped a bit. 3 days after, 1 per 3.5 hrs. 6 days post op I will take 2-3 for the whole day. Wakeup, Bedtime and a misc.
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?
