Smile Help with "Opana"

To my fellow man and the ladies that help them:

I am posting this message as I am in dire straits. My pain management physician has me on medication that is very effective in killing rather brutal pain from 1) breaking my neck in three places and 2) a massive lower lumbar herniation and last, but not least 3) extensive nerve damage done during the accident.

Now, I am a very God-fearing man and realize it is only by his grace that I am here today. I am walking, running, jogging and I'm making love to my beautiful girlfriend and I have nothing but undying gratitude to show our God how merciful he was to me during this brutal accident.

I'm writing this letter in the hopes that I can appeal to someone who has suffered the pain I have suffered a can relate to a brutal pain that I go through daily basis. I use “Opana" to fight the pain because it works wonders. The issue I'm dealing with right now is that, due to my amnesia, and due to some rather dishonest people I have abruptly ended my relationship with ... I am running low on a desperately needed medication and I swear to you all, as Almighty God as my witness, that I am not selling this medication.

gentleman or lady's ... a new folks kindly recommend a legitimate pharmacy that he can help me. I have a prescription for this medication.
I would only turn to you guys here because no one understands the pain we go through a set your fellow chronic pain sufferer.

Please allow me to state once again ... as Almighty God as my witness, I am not looking to use this medication that would upset my very trustworthy and respectable pain management surgeon.

Thanks again folks!

Hi Joe ~ And I'm sorry you're suffering so. I've been a chronic painer for over 25 years, and I know the pain of spinal issues.

I guess I'm not clear on why you're running low --- are you taking more than prescribed?? Will you be out of the medication before your next prescription is due??

If you're taking more than prescribed and that's why you're running out, you need to talk to your pain doctor --- either this medication is NOT strong enough to ease your pain, or else you may have developed an addiction to the meds.

I don't think there is ANY pharmacy that will fill your prescription before it's due. These are narcotics, and they HAVE to be very careful when dispensing these. My insurance company will not let me refill - even if I have a prescription - until 5 days before it's due. For instance, if I got my last Rx on May 11, 2011, I would have to wait until at LEAST June 6, 2011 to refill. Most pharmacies stick pretty close to the due date.

I hope I'm not misunderstanding your post. Best of luck and I wish you much healing & peace. Hugs, Lee

If someone stole your medication you need to report them to the police so that your doctor can give you more meds. Most will do it one time only. I keep my meds in a safe that only I and my husband can open. One of the problems with pain meds is that there are some people who will do anything to get them. Good luck. Sorry I can't be of more help.
