Thank You so much for your reply! I'm glad to know that I am nnot going crazy. When I was seeing my ortho before he retired he was giving me Percocet which was really helping! I am not one that wants to get a "high" either. If I was in pain at work (I sit at a desk for 8 hrs and sometimes sitting too long brings on my back and hip pain) I would take 1/2 of a percocet then maybe 2 hrs later take the other half, or was going to have to be alone with my kids (2 boys, 7 & 8, very active) I would do the same thing. Other times when I knew my husband would be around etc I would take the correct amount. When I would see my ortho and he asked if I needed a refill, sometimes I was afraid to say yes because I didn't want him to think I just "wanted" them. Its all so frustrating and I think I just have to get past what doctors will think because I know what my pain is and have had an MRI and it was diagnosed. If it can be treated without pain meds thats great too! Sorry if I am rambling on but I just felt you understood what I have been going through! Thanks for listening
