Question by : How do i talk to my Doctor about my pain Meds not working?
Hi, I’m 23 years old and when i was 17 i was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in my spine. they took it out but over the years i have been in extreme pain. So much to the point i cant sleep or even move. I have talked to my primary care doctor about this and she put me on a pain contract, Basically what i have to do is take urine test to make sure I’m not exceeding the meds and that I’m taking them regularly and that I’m not mixing the pain meds with any drugs or alcohol. she can have me come in and take the test anytime she wants to. I’m completely fine with this because i am aware people abuse these prescription drugs and they sell them on the street. She prescribed me hydrocodone/apap 5mg/500mg 45pills for a month. Now i understand the “addiction” to pain pills happen because your body gets used to them and no longer works with the amount i usually take. 1 to 2 pills per day as needed. Well it seems to only take effect when i consume 2 at a time, and by 2 weeks i have no more meds & am in ext ream pain once again. I’m Young and a very active person, i have two jobs and plan on starting school soon. But i don’t feel i can go forward with these plans until i manage my pain. How do i bring up to my doctor that i need more pain meds? or different ones? how do i talk to her about trying to manage my pain? i honestly have pain everyday, all day and i wish i didn’t have to live like this & if it was up to me i wouldn’t take any meds at all… please help?

The following article was taken from CNN.com. How do you feel about this case? What should happen as a result?

Five juveniles were in custody Tuesday after a 15-year-old was intentionally set on fire at a Deerfield Beach, Florida, apartment complex, police said.

Michael Brewer suffered second-degree burns over 80 percent of his body. “He’s in for a long, long recovery,” Broward County Sherriff Al Lamberti told reporters.

Three juveniles were arrested Monday night, hours after the incident, and two others were arrested Tuesday, sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Feeley said.

Question by ?GhostOfJaneDoe?: Poll: Who is as sick of druggies as I am? And why do they brag about breaking the law?
I am SO fed up with druggie pot smokers bragging about smoking that I could scream. They act like killing off their lungs and brain cells is “cool”! And they give the lame argument about cigarettes and alcohol “killing millions” while weed has “not killed anyone”. Are they serious? Well, obviously, their brains are burned up from the THC. But what is with the bragging as if it is some major accomplishment? I mean, what’s the mindset behind someone bragging about being a druggie loser? What is so “cool” about being someone that normal, hard working society doesn’t respect? Do they feel so badly about their addiction that they have to justify it somehow or are they *really* that ignorant?
