Possible Percocet Addiction?
Question by Elle: Possible Percocet addiction?
This is a serious question, please don’t give me any rude answers. My fiancé is a carpenter and he fell off a roof and broke his back, tail bone, collar bone and several other broken bones, sprains and fractures. This happened about 2 months ago and he is very lucky to be alive and he’s recovering quite well. Anyways, he got prescribed 30mg Percocet. Before this accident he has never taken these pills. He was very worried in the beginning about taking them because they are highly addictive and he has known several people who have had prescription drug addictions. He takes 1 30mg pill a day, sometimes he only takes half a day. He has been taking them as directed and no more. Though he is recovering it may be a while until the pain goes away. We are both worried he will become addicted. He can’t just stop taking them because of his pain. Will he become addicted? Will he have those horrible withdrawal symptoms when he finally stops?

When taking those pills the pains are likely never to stop, matter of fact they usually end up getting worse. The pains are caused by pinched muscles or nerves. When one is on pain killers they don’t feel the pain so they start to do things they shouldn’t which can make the muscles or nerves get pinched tighter yet to cause more pain. When this happens often enough he will find nothing is touching the pain any longer, not because he’s used to the product but that the pain level has risen so much. He has to have a lot of back pains, caused by pinched nerves in his back. When a nerve is pinched it activates the muscles around it so they tighten up to trap them and the nerve into that pain. To get rid of this pain one has to release the tightened up muscles to free the trapped nerves and here’s how to do that release:
Neck:
Place your hands behind your head so your fingers meet in the middle of your neck. Press into the neck with a moderate pressure and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your head as far as you can, then remove the pressure from the muscles but continue holding your head down for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
These can be repeated as needed, if needed, to get rid of those pains. There are other muscle releases for other pains as well.
Back:
(do while sitting on a chair)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front, and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm as straight as possible. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, then release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
You said his tailbone so here’s how to release the muscles around it to free up the nerves:
Tailbone:
(done best in shorts) Place both hands around your body so they rest on the muscles next to your spine just below your waist line. Press firmly into the muscles and hold that pressure on them. Now relax your body by taking a deep breath and exhaling. After 30 seconds slowly lower yourself down into your lap, then release the pressure on the muscles but remain lowered in your lap for another 30 seconds. Sit up, place your hand back on the muscles but just below where you just were and repeat the steps. When done with that place them just below where they were again and keep doing that until you reach the end of your tailbone and then the pain will be gone.
And here’s how to release the neck muscles to free up the tight muscles in it:
