This is my first actual post here (have been reading for some time). I am a 28 year old guy from Northern Europe. My story short: I started taking Tramadol for pain like 3 years ago. At first everything was like a dream; i had more energy than ever before, and i was in good mood all the time. My dosage was 400 mg per day in IR and ER forms. The only major problem was that i couldn’t sleep if i took it in the evening and the worst pain was always during the night time. So i started taking it like 300 mg in the early morning and 100 mg few hours before going to sleep. I was also RX:d Temazepam (1-2 20 mg) for sleeping and lyrica for nerve pain (3x 150 mg).
In the beginning when Tramadol gave me energy i started working out. I was doing just some basic muscle exercise at first but very soon i started taking things too far and broke my shoulder and some other places.
Some 11 months ago i experienced a total mental and physical breakdown. I started getting panic attacks that lasted for days. I stopped all the drugs i was taking (Tramadol 400mgxday, Lyrica 450mgxday, benzos i was using benzos like twice a week for sleeping). I also stopped smoking pot which i had been doing on a daily basis since i was 15. Now when i think that was maybe one of the worst decisions ever made by me. I felt like my whole body was burning. It took me 9 months to recover myself.
Now i am using Lyrica (300 mgxday), Ibuprof/codeine (0-4xday 200/30mg, Tizanidine (0-8mgxday) , Clonazepam (0-2mgxday, Pot (sometimes) . All the meds are legally prescribed for me (except pot) and i am taking those on much smaller quantities then prescribed. I am waiting for surgical operation on my shoulder.
I have been jogging (8-15km) 2-5 times a week and have also been training my muscles by using only my own bodyweight. Now i can’t do anything without a horrible pain in my shoulder. Physical exercise is like pure drug for me. 15km jogging equals 2mg clonazepam and few ibu/cod for me easily. I mean that the pain and muscle tension relieves much better by jogging then taking those medications.
Has anyone got any tips for me that how can i do any exercise without my right shoulder getting involved?
Hopefully you understand what i am trying to say. I know that my English is far from perfect.
Thanks
