No, they aren’t. I had high hopes that it’d help, but as it turned out, it proved to be worthless for me, plus a lot of trouble to remember to charge it.

I had pain, but it was fairly controlled on the Percocet. At least, I could go to the gym and work out. That was probably the most beneficial for me, in the long run. The new Pain Management doc I saw gave me an injection directly into the nerve he thought was the problem. As it turned out, I’m more incapacitated than ever and also in more pain.
Not only did he give me the injection, he also stopped my Percocet - Cold turkey! Honestly, I couldn’t believe a medical doctor would do something like that, especially to a patient who’d been taking them for 15 years! No weaning off, no nothing. As I sit here and type this, I’m horrified all over again.
In my opinion, I’m 73, so what would it matter at my age to be “addicted,” if that was the case. All my blood tests have come out normal and my liver is functioning, normally. I was able to carry out my daily tasks, plus work out 3-4x a week. Soooo, to repeat my question: what would it matter at age 73? I don’t have a clue how many more years I have (entirely up to the Lord), so wouldn’t quality of life be taken into consideration AT ALL?
Anyway, i apologize for the rant, but someone must have put a quarter in me, and pushed GO!
