I had a bad car accident 5 yers ago (idiot slammed into the side of me at 60 mph when he ran the stop sign). With a shattered pelvis, and 4 broken ribs, I had the good "controlled" stuff in the hospital, that basically put me to sleep. When I got home (in a hospital bed) I tried the Oxy stuff and hated it. It made me nauseous, hot/cold spells, and dizzy. I quit taking ANYTHING for the pain at that point, because I was afraid if I needed to vomit, I couldn't roll on my side to do so.
A year later (after 6 months learning to walk again), the dog ran out in front of me on my Honda XR200 at about 20 mph. I missed the dog, but dumped the bike, and rebroke the ribs.....I sucked it up, and didn't take anything that time either.
Be very careful with pain meds and "needing" them, pain is mostly mental.
