pain
"I had been prescribed Percocet after 2 failed back surgeries.  I now have permanent nerve damage in sciatica and right leg.   I found it to be the only thing that worked for me.  My primary doctor prescribed for me for about 6 months and then released me from the practice because she felt that she couldn't prescribe for someone with chronic pain.  I had to stop taking them immediately as I haven't been able to get another doctor.  The withdrawal was noticeable but only lasted about a day.  Both doctors referred me to Pain Management but my insurance doesn't cover it.  I have been to 2 doctors that have turned me away because my case is "too complicated" and I now I have to live with NO quality of life.  Percocet to me was what made me normal."
