The worst has happened..

[missmomma0062]

Really the worst has happened and Im not sure how to go about this..
Tonight at work I walked into the restroom, well apparently our new carry out who cleans doesn't know the meaning of the wet floor sign.. I opened the door, went to reach for the light and slipped, cracked my back on the sink and my *** on the floor..
Just got home from the hostpial, no narcotic pain meds were given to me upon request but the news from the MRI and CT scan have came back and I have now ruptured the disc between my l5 and s1 to the full extent.. along with a cracked tail bone... Because I go to the doctor tomorrow I was able to come home, they have me percs to take till tomorrow but Ive flushed them.
Ive caused some pretty bad damage.. Its very very painful.. whats my option now? I know my doctor will not only want me on pain meds, she'll want to increase them..
were do I go now? Please guys I need you! What can I do??

Hi, this has been said, but last time I was in NA, a girl who I was very close w/ got the WORST strep throat ever, and one time the speaker had just come off of a disc operation. They both did the same thing: gave their pills to their sponsor and literally had their sponsor come over and give only the appropriate amt.  This very issue has been discussed in NA. It happens!

Also, I am AMAZED that you FLUSHED your pills. BE PROUD. No way in hell would I be able to do that (at this point) and I'm sure many many people would not have. Amazing!!!

Good that you are doing something for the pain. That's what they are for! Good that you have someone controlling them for you. I'd need the same exact method. I have a friend in NA who, for years, has been on a morphine pump with controlled dosage. I was attending NA while still on my pain pills for my back. He told me at a meeting "just because we're clean, doesn't mean we're supposed to writhe around in pain". Glad you're getting right in to see your doctor. You'll be okay through this. Keep with us on here. -Robert

PS: Google "NA More will be Revealed" click the very first hit (sobermusicians) and read starting at the 8th paragraph. It made me feel much better about being on them.

sorry last night was so bad girl!  i'm hoping the doc can give you some relief of some kind....hoping for a speedy recovery for you and some decent sleep!

Last night was horriable, I'm going to have to go back to the pain killers, My husband has agreeded to take them and hold them and dole them out as directed. My butt hurts so bad lol..
I really appricate the support, its amazing that not even 12 days ago you were all cheering me on, and even with the turn of events your still here.
My doctors app is in a couple hours, and I was wondering since I was on 10/325, has it been long enough that just a small 5 would take the pain. I don't want the buzz, I just want the pain to go away...
Heck she may not even give the same meds.. we'll just wait and see.. About 4am I regreted flushing the percs the hospital gave me. I cried for about 2 hours before I got just a little more sleep...
My whole lower back is black, Ill have the hubby take pictures of it when he gets home and post, it looks horriable!

Very sorry to of your injury!   Looks like everybody has beat me, um .... just emphasize with your Dr about your fear of opiate pain meds, push for anything non opiate that might help.  I had a similar fall 17 years ago, same breaks and lost conciousness for a couple minutes.   Was very sore for a few months but completely healed eventually.  Let us how todays dr visit goes, several on here have been thru this,  you might even want to take your own soft pillow cushion.
