Dealing with 19 (I think) surgeries and the many accompanying aches and pains I have taken my share of painkillers. Before we figured out it was a tumor in my left calf that had to be amputated I was working two jobs and going to school. the pain in my left calf was excruciating. I was taking 10-15 ibuprofen a day to deal with the pain (this went on for months) as well as Oxycontin when the pain was really bad. I knew it wasn't healthy but I had no alternative. After my knee replacement in 2007 I was in the hospital for a week with a button that would give me a small dose of morphine, I was allowed to push this button once every 30 seconds. When I was released from the hospital the doctors told me I would need to take a plethora of drugs to ween myself of my morphine addiction.  I recently moved into my own apartment, I was packing all my medical supplies and prescriptions. I found an unopened prescription of dilouded, a few bottles of percocet, Oxycontin,  and vicodin. So I've had plenty of experience with pain killers.
