I took pain med.

I want to put it out here.for the last 3-4 days my lower back has been hurting and this morning I couldn't hardly walk.long story short,I went to the doctor,found out I have a bad kidney infection,yeast and UTI.So,he suggested I take 3 different scripts,1 being ultram.
sorry but I took it,anyway it kinda helped but I should feel better by sunday,he said.
tomorrow I am supposed to go to a luncheon with girls I haven't seen in 40 years.I missed it last time cause I was getting off the pain pills and I'm not gonna miss it.so,I just like to be honest and I am not b.s.ing cause maybe some will think I should've just bit the bullet.

i feel for ya. i have endometriosis and i understand the pain u go thru. i used to get em all the time and know very well how painful and uncomfortable it can be. have u thought about giving the script to sum1 u trust and have them only give u the pills like they r prescribed? thats what i would do if ur worried about getting addicted to them. they r addicting.! thats what they would give me also when i would get sick like that.

I want to thank you all.I didn't like the way it made me feel(ultram)but it did dull the pain.I've had UTI infections before but never with kidney involvement and the other thing.never did they give me this kind of back pain before.slept for 2-3 hours and the pain is not as intense this am.
yes,I can give them to my grown son to hold,I took 2 yesterday total and maybe I can get by with tylenol today.I've had so many bladder problems since I got off the pills.I was given sub.to get off Lortabs but got off the sub.after about 5 weeks.I felt like the sub.messed with my kidneys,like gave me urgency?
Anyway,thanks again,I truly appreciate it!You guys r the best!

Don't know why doctor prescribe ultram.
Pain is pain, I don't know what you were battling but you need relief.
But I hate the way ultram makes me feel. I'd never heard of it until recently when an er doc gave me some a year ago. I didn't even fill it right away till my wife said it blocks the receptors like a perk. Ding ding took that script to get filled. But hate the way I feel.  I think it's one of the hardest pills to get off of.

UTI are the worse and can be very painful. I have not had to face pain since I have been trying to recover. But you are doing good I think you are telling on yourself. I take suboxone so it helps most of any pain I ever had. I am for what ang 811 says maybe someone could hold the rest so you don't take them wrong. That is what recovering is about not abusing. Good Luck to you and I hope you get to feeling better. I am proud of you for telling the truth up front.
