Prince did not die from pain pills — he died from chronic pain *RAW STORY*

[Curtis]

41. Not just BS,

But bullshit. And, before anyone goes after me for not knowing, a little history from this disabled 53 year old:
-Played football younger and broke plenty of bones, shoulder and knee leading to surgeries
-Multiple concussions from football and boxing
-Injuries from extreme skiing
-Involved in explosion in 2009 that led to hearing loss, TBI and a very rare brain vascular condition where the vessels constrict and cause strokes out of the blue
-Lower back problems
-Slipped vertebrae in the neck. Not a disc but the bones themselves have become dislocated and have slipped resulting in pinched spinal cord. You don't know pain until you deal with that shit. Will face major surgery this summer for that
-Frequent kidney stones docs cannot figure out

What do I take for pain? Aleve and fucking deal with it most days. Sometimes, VERY RARELY, I take vicoprofen. I got a 90 pill prescription before we set sail this December in the Caribbean and still have like 70 something left. I deal with the pain and go forward with life. Anyone who uses the excuse they have to have a chemical to make it through life has other issues and uses pain as an excuse, IMHO. I have spent many nights crying instead of sleeping because of pain. It would be so easy to give in and take an opiate all the time because it does mask the pain, but then I'm worthless and just kind of drool through the life I have. At least I can still enjoy life, yes even through the pain, without it being masked by some chemical.

Oh, and I only went on social security disability and quit work in 2014. Sorry, but, like I said, there is more wrong with these people deep down who give in to addiction to cover their pain.

I'm sure the hate will come now
