Hydrocodone - 30 yrs. Injured spine metal implant - Neck injury possible pending surgery surgeon also spoke of need for plate in neck. Tired of narcotics tired of pain tired of doctors tired of regulations and living month to month dependent on medication do not want surgery do not want narcotics do not want to see a doctor for an injury I've had for 30 years and do not want to have to explain that sometimes the medication is insufficient. I'm tired of the pain physically mentally and spiritually. I am currently prescribed 3 Hyrocodone 10.5 tablets a day and also Gabapentin 300 mg 3 X daily sometimes it is sufficient sometimes it is not. There has to be a way to treat the pain without surgery or narcotic drugs a medication that addresses pain and allows me to live a healthy pain free life. Suggestions?
