Talk to your doctor: Pain is real. There are many treatments other than opiates. Problem with opiates is your body develops tolerance over time and you need more to get the same effect for pain relief and the euphoria (good mood) you get. Actually people become more sensitive to pain with chronic opiate use. Talk to your doctor about alternative treatments and see if it is possible to reduce opiates over time.
