    Pill addiction
    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 management thing, and they control my pills and everything, and now there giving me Methadone, for the pain/addiction, and it last a lot longer then plan ol pain pills, but even when I miss a dose or whatever I still have withdrawl symptoms and it sux!!
    But I am doing a online schooling program, but when I'm done with high school I am going to college and nursing school, and I really don't want to be taking anything while I am learning,
    And more so because I don't want to be on pills my whole life, because I want a family some day and I don't want to be high on pills while I'm 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 wouldn't know how it feels!
