I was able to detox myself off the opiates. I went from 15mg. to 7.5mg to 4mg then zero. The withdrawals weren't bad at all compared to my pain level. It went from 7/10 to 9/10. I dont see how they can put me in a detox if Im off the opiates but now Im suffering terribly. I'm using my TENS and hydrocollator but cant use them forever. I need a pain manager not an addiction doctor. Addicts dont go from 90mg. to 15mg. for months and then detox themselves. (maybe they can I dunno) but I doubt any detox would take me now. Liberty Mutual should pay for every minute of my discomfort since their client ruined my life. (As I lay here in awful pain trying to prove a point to my lawyer,judge,LibertyMutual lawyer etc...) How stupid has pain management got??????WoW!!!
