I sure would hate to be an addict!!! I once had my P.M.D. forget to call in my script. One day after being out, the withdrawl pain was intense! I called the doctors office, only to be told she was gone for another three days. I went to the V.A. hospital to see what, if anything, could be done for me?
Let me tell you, this was a battle of wills!!! I was physically sick, as anyone who looked at me could tell. The nurses would do nothing. So, I told them that if they cannot find me another P.M.D. that could get me my script, I was gonna raise some hell. About five minutes later, here comes this doctor. He was not happy with me, I told him the feeling was mutual. He said the best he could do, was to give me a script of three days worth, then I would have to see my doctor. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I told him. I went to the Pharmacy and picked it up, and took one dose right then!!! Twenty minutes later, I was fine as paint once again.
I know the feeling of physical dependence I can tell you!!!
I would never, ever want to be addicted to these things, you know???
I know you are in the hospital today, but you can read this when you return to us!!!
Good luck!!!

Good luck, Beth, we will all be thinking of you!!!
We hope your recovery time will be short, and not too very painful!!!
Can't wait to get you back on the puter!!!

To be honest, I can't really tell any difference between the two? That's why I think Beth is right. It depends on your tollerence, and the possible side effects. Which one is best for you? That is what you and your doctor must find out through trial and error. Hopefully no error, right?
Good luck to you!!!

I wonder if surgery on your back may be in order, now?
Best of luck to you!!! And please keep us informed!

The very first thing you should have done, was to see your family doctor!!! A chiro is fine, but not when its your back that is in pain. Always see a doctor first, in case its a pinched nerve, and a chiro may make it worse.
Since you are a weight lifter, it could be a cracked disc? Or, it may even be (God Forbid) a herniated disc?
Go see your doctor!!!
Good luck, and keep us informed, please!!!

If you are having these problems, try to call the doctor, or leave a message to have him call you back. I will tell you this, he won't let you cut them in half. He may, however, have you up the percoset dosage?
Good luck!!!

You know, I've been thinking. Why can't they make a rechargeable battery, with a solar, or wind powered generator attatched? You know, they could put a little photoelectric cell on top of a hat, or even a small propeller, and all you have to do is walk around. You would be charging all the time.
Ok, so i'm just having some fun with you! I really do hope you have a very short recovery time!!! I'll be thinking of you the entire day, the 22nd. Hope they get you right in, and right back out, so you can come here and tell us all about it.
I know you said something about how long it took, but I don't remember. So, GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take good care!!!
