Good luck.

I couldn't agree any more with this statement, even if the guy is a donktard fan. When no OTC meds worked, when injections stopped helping, and when PT did nothing I turned to opiates (prescribed). They themselves can only do so much. I've been on these ****ing things for 13-14 months now and am just as excited to get off these as I am from the prospect of relief from my upcoming surgery. I can no longer go much more than 12 hours without taking them before they start to to present their own fun problems.. Opiate withdrawal is every bit as bad as my pinched nerves, herniated discs, and ****ed up si joints/hips. I'd highly recommend never starting them and wish I never had. They absolutely help but I'm now hooked on pills after I'd been clean/sober for 10-11 years
