[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 2287484, member: 110162"] I understand your concerns about codeine . I've been under care of a pain clinic for a few years now from a botched back surgery and a degenerative neck issue . The thing about codeine or opioids of any kind is, if you feel buzzed , your taking too big a dose . I take just enough to take the edge off the pain. I never feel buzzed . As far as constipation goes, it's about the same.......if you have constipation issues, you are taking too much. You will have SOME issue with that, but its minimal if you just take enough to reduce the pain to a manageable level. I take miralax powder once a week and that keeps me going good enough. All it does is replace the moisture in your intestines that the opiods removes. The meds are not the big bad wolf the media has sold it as. If you are in control of your own body and don't expect the drugs to completely eliminate your pain , opiods are as good as we have avaliable today for pain management. To be honest, the worse part about taking the meds is the stigma associated with them since the media grabbed hold of the stories of kids overdosing for the buzz . Wacky weed is another alternative if its legal in your area. Its not legal where I am . If it was, I would look into it as an alternative to opiods. Not as addictive, but from my much younger day, it is more mood altering that opiods taken properly. Ability to control pain ? I'd like to know. [/QUOTE]
