Been pretty bad for society... but pretty awwesome for acute pain.oxycontin = one of the dirtiest prescription drugs ever conceived, great if you are aiming for nausea, vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, indigestion, weakness, sweating, lightheadedness, dizziness and drowsiness. Wash that down with alcohol to induce blackouts, hallucinations, slurred speech and make you completely uncoordinated.
That's not a retirement plan that's slow suicide.
Youngn's!! Stay outta debt! If you don't have CASH, don't buy it.
Don't retire in debt.
You need to be healthy too. Not always controllable.
Chronic pain is real.
We need a "list your surgeries" thread.
7 X left knee surgeries.
1X back... 3 lumbar discs removed / fusion.
1X Hernia.
1X remove 75% of my colon / attach ostomy bag for 6 months. (this sort of thing puts a damper on riding, so I bought a corvette).
1X open me back up, put plumbing back where it works, remove ostomy)
2 or 3X other minor crap.
I just got back to riding this yr....6yr colon related hiatus. Didn't do as much as hoped for, but the fjr rolled 10,000kms since may.
Pills? I haven't taken more than 2-3 aleve in 2yrs.
CBD tincture ftw.
Or, you know, pain control after a major surgery?oxycontin = one of the dirtiest prescription drugs ever conceived, great if you are aiming for nausea, vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, indigestion, weakness, sweating, lightheadedness, dizziness and drowsiness
Like my spouse had, the oxycontin they made me buy for her completely unhinged her,Or, you know, pain control after a major surgery?
As mentioned, until you've had your back and hip opened up, you don't really get it (not you, n personally, every "you"). 2 yrs ago they butterflied my abdomen. 50 odd staples. They sent me home with dilodid (sp?). I broke one in half, took it, that was it. Binned the rest. Ya, it hurt, but not like spinal surgery. Percs are required for that, there's no way around it.Like my spouse had, the oxycontin they made me buy for her completely unhinged her,
she flushed almost all of it down the toilet other then the first dose.
Me too, twice. Epidurals are available.Men can't complain much about pain, I've seen child birth.
