I used to abuse pain meds for emotional pain and now actually need to take them for real pain and i can't!
I was diagnosed last fall and my pain is usually around a 5.
I don'tt even want to think about what will happen wen the pain worstens...

What does your PM doc say? My understanding is that when you use narcotics for RSD pain your body is processing them in a different way than it does when you take them to get high. I'm in no way an expert, though.
Congrats on beating your addiction. What an awesome accomplishment. And perhaps you shouldn't think about what is going to happen when the pain worsens - treat this like you did your recovery - ONE DAY AT A TIME.
