Answers:
You should be honest at all costs!. If the pain is not being controlled by the drugs the Doctor is prescribing, the Doctor needs to know!. However it is not just about popping pills, their is a whole range of other things that might help, from muscle relaxants, drugs for nerve pain, let alone physiotherapy, occupational therapy and keep thinking positively!. Perhaps your Doctor needs to send you to a Physiotherapist who should be able to help you with your walking gait, the way you walk, to take the pressure and strain off the shorter leg!.

You say you "got in trouble" which I assume means you were misusing your medication and now you are buying medication illegally!. you are showing a pattern of drug seeking behavior!. You need to get right with your Dr!. and yourself and be honest about what you need as opposed to what you want!. There are many ways to address your pain and while narcotics MAY be part of that plan it shouldn't be your only plan!. be honest with your dr!. I hope you can reach a state of balanceWww@Answer-Health@Com
