I've been wanting to express my sympathies about your accident and current chronic condition, but didn't know what to say exactly. I know what chronic pain is like, and I was once on Vicodin for two years. The doctor refused to let me continue with that medication any further. Now I am using Tramadol, which works okay, but not like Vicodin did. And now the doctor is trying to talk me out of using Tramadol. No way, I used to live without pain relief, and it was not an acceptable quality of life that way.I prefer not to tell everyone in the world about why I need it. But I do. Chronic pain is a bad thing. So I wish you the best, and don't overdo it and lose your hearing like Rush Limbaugh. 1/2 :) What is it that they say? Use it so that your pain level is a "3"?
