I have a long story and I am not good at writing so forgive me.
I have Fibomyalgia for 18 years. I have a very good Dr that I have been going to for 12 years. He trys to help me with my pain but he just wouldn't go any higher than 5/500 vic 1 to 2 every 6 hours. I told him it just wasn't working like it did 3 years ago. He never said any just wrot out for my 5/500. Well back on Aug 8th 06 I tore both of my achilles tendons. I was running across the hwy to pick up what I let on top of the roof of my car. I took 3 steeps and bamm. I heard something pop. I couldn't move. Here are these cars going my with me in the middle. Well I had to crawl back to my car. I got to my moms which I was in front of when I did this. I got her and she drove me to the ER At the ER they sent me to the orthopaedic surgeon. You know you have to fill out all the paper work. I did just so and put now ALL my meds. Well the Dr told be that I had tore bout Achilles tendons but not all the way He put me in a boot for the worse one and he said let try to see if they will heal on their on. Well he said he was going to give me pers 7.5/700 I told him I was on pain meds and he said they ard just not strong to took care of my pain. Said for me to take these and if the pain was so bad at times to take the others. So that is what I did. I had appt with my reg dr a few weeks later and I told him what the other Dr put me on and how he told me to take them. Well came dec the had not healed my doing MRIS. said he had to do surgery. Jan 12 had appt with reg dr and told him they were going to do surgery. Told him the Dr gave me per 7.5/700 for after the sugery. Well I had the sugery the 16the of jan. I came home the next day and the Dr gave my hubby ocodone20 mg 20 pills to take 1 every 12 hours. So hubby got them and I was in bed and he showed me the meds and I didn't know what they were so I had hubby look it up but I had took 1 before he did look it up. Hubby came back in the room and told me it was a bad drug and that drug addicts use them. scared me to death. I didn't take them. I went to my reg dr in march and he said I was taking to much meds and he couldn't give me any more I showed him the bottle of ocodone a full bottle he said take those. I asked if it was safe and he said yes. Then we talked and he did his thing and he ask how I felt about pain mangment. I told him that would be fine I had no trouble with it. I stoped all meds and never went thought withdraw. And My dr gave me Tramadol and told me to try them. That is what I am on now it works to some what but my rib pain it will not even touch. I am dowm to a 4-6 pain till about 4-5 hours my pain goes back to a 7-9. I only take the tramadol every 6 hours 100mg. I went to the PM and they can't help me on my Fibor only my back. Now I did evey thing the Dr told me to do and told each dr what I was on. I Alway took my meds every4-6 hour to which one I took. If my pain in my heels were bad I would take the 7.5/700 that day and it was 2 every 4 hours. I really don't understand how I was taking to much meds. I never got high that I know of. it just took my pain down to a 2-3. Why does my dr think I was taking to much meds when I with by what was said on the bottle. It has got me afaid to call my Dr and ask if he can send me to another PM that can take care of all my problems. I don't want any one to think I am looking for drugs. I don't care what they do to me if they say you will be out of pain if you stand on your head for 5 mins I would do it. I am a 51 year old lady that would like to have my life back. I love to fish and I can't do that any more or work in my yard. What am I to do some help please
So so long
