Tinkers~how are you feeling today? hope your feeling a little bit better. I know muscle realaxers dont usually work for hernated disc pain, i know i have a hernated disc myself and it agravates my syatica nerve, i know your probably fighting wondering in your situation whether or not to be treated with pain meds, sometimes curve balls come up and we need them for a ligit reason, in your case i know you really dont want to give up your sobreity but maybe for your sake maybe consider pain meds just for now until your back feels better im not saying have a big party night with them and by all means im not wanting to tempt you but in certain cases pain meds are needed. and you wouldnt be a FAILUE not in anyones eyes on this board believe me you have been an inpiration to a lot of ppl on this forum , me included, but you cant go around in excusating pain either, then once the pain is subsited you can get off them and get back on the sub , have your wife hold the bottle and let her give them to you when you need them that way your not tempted to take more than prescribed, this is just a little advice i know what your pain is like it sucks its excusating, i know when i was clean for about a month i got in a car acceenent and i had to go back on pills cuz of my chest wall and for my back, i wasnt happy at all but i knew i needed them for a ligit reason. but unforunalty for me it got so out of hand that i overdid it and didnt give the bottle to my hubby like i was suppose too and then just added fuel to the fire, and i wound up in detox but i see that as a lesson to me i wouldnt be where i am today if that didnt happen . Everything happens for a reason i believe. but im not saying that will be your case im just giving you an examlpe.
your in my prayers i hope you feel better soon and what ever you decide im in your corner
let us know how your doing keep us posted
