for those of you who may know, im now a recovering painkiller addict. im stating that so that those of you (dont get me wrong, youre good bros) who know about my addiction know that im not asking this question to find a way to get pills. im several months clean. the issue is that ive had a torn acl for over ten years which never bothered me TOO badly, but recently, while doing heavy leg workouts, ive been feeling other ligaments tearing and my knee is always swollen and in pain to the point that i cant walk right and can barely do my job im working part time as a barback. i have no health insurance, so i cant afford surgery right now, however, my knee is in agony. i tried vicodin 7.5s and 10s, but it didnt help much unless i took several at a time. i called someone i know and he gave me a few perc 30s and an 80mg oxycontin just in case. the 30s worked great actually and i was able to go about my normal life. i dont want to keep buying off the street and was wondering how i can get my doc to prescribe me percs? he already gets me ambien with no insurance and i pay only 16 bucks. im in agony rite now but i dont want my doc to think im some junkie by asking for pills. if he gives me an mri he'll see all the tears himself.
