I exercise like a
fiend when I am in pain.
I’ve had a hard time getting out so I bought a cheap rowing machine off of Amazon.
Any time I feel pain, anxiety, depression, or urges I jump on the machine and do ten minutes. It’s starting to work for me. Good luck!

Hi Michelle: Firstly, thank-you for finding the courage to come forward to share what you're going through. Personally, I have only ever taken pain medication after a procedure as directed by a doctor. So I have never taken them long-term. The best thing that I can think of is to honestly tell your doctor what's going on. Tell them your concerns. If you think that you're addicted, then tell them that too. Hope that helps. Thank-you.
