I am concerned. Back in May, the pain was so bad from my disc. Neurosurgeon ordered myleogram. When he saw results, he ordered Lortab 7.5mg an Zanaflex 4mg. I was hurting so bad. # days after the myleogram his PA called and said they had me scheduled for surgery 6/6/09. I said no ! She told me he wanted to do surgery ASAP. I know it wasn't for lack of patients for he does surgery on Sat. if necessary. She said she had bumped some cases and fit me in. I ended up having surgery 9/11/09 . After surgery I am having to take soma 350mg 2tabs q 4-6 hrs and Lortab 10mg 2 tabs with it to gey some relief. I am so scared I will become addicted. I haven't taken anything today and the pain is horrible. Numbness all down L. arm into fingers. My husband says take meds. I am so afraid to, but I truly hur badly. I have fought so hard for the past 26 years. I havedured 2 previous neck surgeries, They didn't have pain as I have now. I still have another disc that needs repair. Someone please tell me if they have become addicted to pain pills and if so what kind. I am so scared. I once heard that if you had to ask, it probably is true. I heard someone say this at a NA meeting.
