I never knew what addiction was until my first knee surgery. I thought I just had the flu when the doc cut me off. Seriously no warning or nothing she just cut me right off, docs just don't seem to care about that stuff. I'm smarter now though, I try to go a day without them if I can. Just to keep my tolerance down so that when they do say no more, it won't be all that bad. I'm more scared of them never saying no more than stopping though. I don't like feeling like I need anything like that. Don't worry I have your back, aint' no pain med troll getting over on you!
