[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3249320, member: 10465"] ( Caution: Graphic photo of injury) Hi. My name is druryj and I’m an opioid addict. I take opioids every day for chronic pain and if were to suddenly stop, I would no doubt suffer some withdrawal symptoms. That means that I am addicted to them; that I am an addict. But my doctor explained this me from the beginning and I have been taking opioids now for complex regional pain syndrome for like 10 years. I had an injury that just isn’t to going to just get better; it’s a thing I’ll deal with for the rest of my life. I ruptured my left Achilles’ tendon, and after 5 surgeries, two 1-week stays in the hospital with MRSA, pseudomonas, and 21 surgical debridements, I almost lost my foot. That might have been best actually. I now have permanent damage to the nerves in my lower leg and foot that is not going to heal. It hurts, bad, all the damn time.
