Hey Jude, As I get older I seem to have the same pain but stronger than ever. Jude I have stopped taking percocet and any other pain meds. It took about a solid month to ween off of them but now I'm glad I did. They got to where they were causing more spasms than normal I was having to double up on percocet, I started running out early and I couldn't get a refill so I was screwed for several days. That caused real problems and I started having bad withdrawals. That was when I decided to quit them. You can't imagine what that was like. Three months latere I'm off of them completly I only take some Valium, Gabapentin, Soma, Oxybutin and blood pressure meds. I'm alot better off without percocets but even though I still have incredable pain I try and use mind over matter, also I listen some Ti Che and that creates a different perspective of mind control. If your not strong enough to ween off of pains, I don't recommend trying this on your own, it can get scarey. We all have to try and use our good sence with strong opiates there so addictive and very bad for your Liver and other internal organs. I love all of you and please use good judgement with your meds. Sometime the initial good wil[ come back and haunt you. Please take care of yourselves.

Is there more or less pain? Are you able to get around like you used to? Are you hampered more now than you used to be? In what ways. What helps you with your pain besides medication? Do you use things like Ben Gay or topical ointments or anything? Do any of you, besides Bernie, have a pain pump? I am going for my first consultation on the 9th. I looked it up and know all about it, but I want to know about it first hand. Thank you all for your answers. I am considering asking the Quad list too. What do you think? Does anyone have those addresses? If so, may I have a few please? Especially if they have the pump. Love you, Jude Michigan, where we are wearing a winter blanket of snow...
