(256 posts)... your doctor... or a doctor... just to live life doctors do prescribe pain-killers and various kinds of sedatives.
A friend of mine has a a few conditions (just recently added to it a degenerate spinal disease).
Like you, this friend wont even consider illegal drugs.
This friend goes to a doctor, gets appropriate prescriptions and even prescriptions for rehabilitation to help reduce pain and make this friend feel better overall.
Heck... I hurt my spine years ago.
The pain was endless.
I had problems with walking and balance for years.
I couldn't sleep right anymore.
But the doctors did the same for me.
Appropriate pain medicines... therapy... and even Tai Chi.
I eventually got better.
But all the while, my mind was clear.
My work life was never in jeopardy.
There was never a chance for legal problems.
When a medicine made me too drowsy for work, I simply talked with my doctor and he adjusted it, and things went well again.
Heck, even now, I take medicines...
Legal.... with a prescription from my doctor...
No worries.
No fear.
No problems.
And... I feel good.
