Im relatively young, been an athlete most of my lfe, and healthy. 6 months ago i hurt my back, and i have been taking oxycodone ever since. Sometime recently i realized, i was hooked on it. i tried to stop taking it and id go through tremendous leg pain i thought was my back. Well, not all of it was. Ive quit cold turky and i am suffering, if i had a pill id take it, i have made gret pains to make sure i am not in any contact with them. I went to e.r. because of withdrawel and told them the last thing i wanted was any narcotic, i just wanted something to help me rest. I am doing the best i can and waiting on a detox bed. cross your fingers. now i know what it is to be an addict.
