You are a dear girl Debi and I appreciate the support. I am especially frustrated because everyone at the doctor's office and the hospital told me the pain meds were a very important component of my recovery. No one mentioned anything about withdrawal. I feel foolish for thinking just 1 pill would not cause a problem. Now I know better.

My pain doctor made me go off my oxy since I'm on ER Morphine but I didn't have a problem except lots of different pains came back that were being controlled with the oxy. I was only taking 5 mg here and there and I'm sure that had something to do with being able to come off of it with no withdrawals.
The grown kids said I was grouchy for a few days when my pain would spike 
I'm so sorry you are going through this. Wish I could give you some suggestions but I'm sure others will come along that can help you.
Keep us posted.
Debi from Georgia
