pain
"I have 4 herniated discs and 4 bulging discs with bone spurs.  I am only 46, I clean for a living and need to work.  I will eventually need surgery, but Endocet keeps me moving for now free from stomach upset.  However, this drug is very addicting and keeps me moving as if I am functioning like a "normal" person.  However, my loving doctor is managing this whole process and will help me wean off of this amazing drug that I have the utmost respect for.  I don't take anything else and need to stay on this drug until I get through my surgeries and post.  I am hopeful that I will eventually no longer need this drug, but it is the only option I have right now to get me through my days.  I am afraid, but hopeful the surgeries will help."
