How badly do the really need them?And how severe is the pain.Is it something a mild pain killer like a low dose vicodin can't help?I do believe vicodin is dangerous too,however i think it's better than Oxycontin,morphine,demerol,etc.There is what i would rate as a 99% chance of addiction with all these medications.The withdraw is extremely violent!Believe me it is far more painful then the pain they are already experiencing.And many times it leads to other drugs because theirs it too much to afford or whatever.Then when they don't want to take it anymore,they find they are too dependant and end up an a even more dangerous drug...Methadone.It's all a vicious cycle if you ask me,i know for a fact and thank god every day that i live now that i am no longer involved with that cycle.And it was one of the hardest things i have ever conquered.

Oh, I hope she is not still on this mix of medications.It can be deadly to mix opiates with benzos(nerve pills).I know that must have worried you.I'll pray for the two of you.I hope her nerves calm and her bones ache less as well.Thanks for the response.

I don't know if this might help your mother in law, but it may be worth looking in your area see if there is someone with this technology.

well I have a strict opinion on that. A feeling of pain is a BODY TALK, you body is trying to deliver a message to you by that pain, why shut it up? Instead, keep looking and hearing your body alerts to find out what is exactly wrong, it can be something really unexpected.

Yes you shouldn't try to shut it up,that's for sure!I definatley agree with you an that.It's healthy to feel pain when something is wrong.I wish more people felt this way.Thanks for the response.
