She is gonna try and get cortisone shots in her knee soon, has a doctors appointment in the coming week to speak about it. It sucks and i understand what she goes through i have herniated discs in my back and cant function at work without opioids cuz the pain is so brutal. Yeah opiates can be a curse, sometimes tho the options are limited.
Personally i couldnt perform my job without them so i accept the addiction i have. Im going to use them for the time being until i dont have to work anymore. If i had a job in a office or something i wouldnt need the stuff, but cooking in a high volume restaurant is intense. It allows me to get shit done, if i just sat in a chair in a office it would be different.
Trust me, i know opioids suck ive been on them since i was a teenager, back then it was for fun. Well now its something else
For the record i seriously dont wanna harm my girlfriend with opioids, but i just feel bad and wish i could help is all.
