pain
"My discs are degenerative, and I had a back surgery 20 years ago that failed. At the time,
I was given 2 T-4's every 4 hours. That made working almost tolerable. Long story short,
2 surgeries later and I am prescribed a T-4 every 6 hours. I am in chronic pain and will
be (most likely) and have no life due to it. Since the DEA now prescribes for me, I guess
I will just have to shrivel up and die. Having raised a teenaged son, Norco's were quite
popular 9 years ago and that's what has contributed to this travesty. I do not deny
there are drug seekers, however, I am on disability at 56 because I cannot get enough
relief to be a dependable worker anymore and it is, quite literally, killing me slowly. "
