@dinosoke I wouldn't take medicine that didn't work either. If you don't take pain medicine when you have pain then that's your choice. I have to. Even though there is still some pain there, I can only wonder just how bad it would be if I took nothing for pain. I'm thinking a lot worse. Nothing is going to take the pain away 100% unless you are in hospital for something stronger. I have done that too. Spent a weekend getting IV pain meds for pain and spasms in both legs. I could hardly walk. EMS came and took me to hospital. Pain is awful and as long as there is something available for it, I'm taking it. I've heard that some cancer pain is horrible too but I'm praying that's not true in my case. Bone pain I experience is way worse than my back pain has ever been but I would never consider not taking something for it. Again, nothing takes it completely away but I'm sure I'd be screaming if I took nothing. I guess you can say the pain meds take the edge off and make it more tolerable. It does in my case. 😊

@carol1024 Thank you Carol for your response. It's not that I have anything against med's for whatever reason but I have been in the hospital couple times and once I was in for my kidney and it was my first time dealing with the headache from hell along with the pain from my kidney being so server infected that they were pumping me up full of Morphine. I was in for almost a week when the Doctor came in and explained to me that I was going to receive a spinal tap in the morning. I said The hell I am. For kidney infection they wanted to check for meningitis and I told him. Look I'm not a freaking ginny pig and I don't want any more Morphine. I want you to give me what you're going to give me at the end now because every single person I have ever spoken with says the same thing. At the end the doctor says. Here this will work and guess what? My headache from hell went away within 20 minutes so I know that they have medicine they can give us right then and there but since they are only Practicing Physicians here in the United States not like those across the waters from us that will give you what you need from the start for the fact that they are going to be paid no matter what. Here they will give us whatever medicine they have either are just testing out or the lowest cost of medication they can get away with. I was on morphine for 5 days just to ease my pain and once I started telling him what to do and then with just one pill the pain went away and not just to cover my pain but took the headache away. That's the main reason why I don't take medicine because I know it's only a temporary thing they are giving me. The pain is there trust me it's there but I learned some time ago how to channel the pain in my body. There's lots of times I can't do that because either I'm at work or too much noise and at work it looks like I am sleeping when I try to get centered and we can't have that considering that I am the only doorman they have on duty and it's too much noise for it anyway but when I get the chance I will channel it and throw it out of my body and mind. Granted it only last a short time but it beats letting them practice on me by trying out different types of medication when in the long run they have the medicine that could have worked from the start.
