HELP. I am 30 years old, Male, 6', 230lbs. 14 years ago I crushed my "Big Toe" while working for UPS. During my treatment the company appointed Doctor, Dr. Feldmen, informed me that this injury will be a problem later in life, I will eventually need a cane, and there is nothing you can do about it. At first I did not believe him but I could not deny already feeling some discomfort.
Of Course Iâm going to make a long story short. After seeing my Primary, an Orthopedic, and a Foot Specialist I realized that Dr. Feldmanâs original assessment was correct. This is something that Iâm going to have to live with, a constant tooth ache on my foot which now progressed up my leg. In another 10 years I will probably need a cane.
Okay, now I will get to the point. I have been for the last three years taking pain medication. First Percocet: 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mgâ¦â¦.now I am up to taking 2 80mg Oxycotin a day. The problem is that these are not prescribed by my doctor. It started with a relative giving me a couple to help me cope with the pain. Each Doctor didnât honor my request for this medication because it seemed they did not appreciate the pain I put up with.
I have insurance but I have to buy these on the âBlack Marketâ and they are expensive approx..40$ per pill. I would like to legitimize me taking this medication. My pain is legitimate and though taking pain killers does not entirely kill the pain, it helps me cope. I have exhausted every possibility to correct my foot/leg problemâ¦except for my Orthopedicsâ recommendation to amputate the toe. I will never do that⦠Who do I have to talk to or where do I have to go to so Iâm no longer an âabuserâ and I can start taking these legally?
