ok so i have a hip disorder and as i have gotten older the pain has gotten worse, i was taking vicodin for about almost 4 years, but i was getting way to addicted it them and taking more then i should, so my doctor recimended, that i got to a pain clinic like a pain managment thing, and they control my pills and everything, and now there giving me Methadone, for the pain/addiction, and it last alot longer then plan ol pain pills, but even when i miss a dose or whatever i still have withdrawl symptoms and it sux!!!
but iam doing a online schooling program, but when im done with high school iam going to college and nursing school, and i really dont want to be taking anything while iam learning,
and more so cuz i dont want to be on pills my whole life, cuz i want a family some day and i dont want to be high on pills while im taking care of my kids!
so how would i go about this, rehab? physical therapy?

*My opinion* is that you can learn to live with pain...I can't see a future in being on strong pain medication.

yeah i can live with pain, but not with withdrawal!
unless you ever had it, you wouldnt know how it feels!
