How Can I Wean Off Addiction To Painkillers After Having A Shoulder Surgery?

yea i m addicted to pain killers and trying to find help to get these evil things out of my life.I went to a rehab type place and filled out all the paperwork .Guess what because i have insurance they dont have the capability to bill the insurance company .So i called my doctor and she said they don t deal with this type of problem even though after my shoulder surgery she prescribed them to me.I spent 28000 dollars in the last three months (my 401k ) buying pills off the street to self medicate so i wouldn t be sick.I gave myself a family intervention Christmas morning because i was scared and tired of living a life of lies.I have good family support and i m an usher at my church ,i have a full time job and very much love life.I m a 45 year old male that really needs help with this.I ve used alot of drugs and in my life, the strongest drug that i ve used and thought i would never be able to quit was cocaine .This is the worst.Please help me, Dan (207)240-7947, e-mail WWW.WWWW.WW . Thank-you for your time and compassion to help society .

Hello,

I have studied your case

I will advice for MRI shoulder and look for cause of pain in post shoulder surgery.

Physiotherapy- pain can reduced by various wave therapy which are given by specialized machine like ultrasonic therapy, short wave diathermy.

You need proper rehabilitation program and inspiration to take off from cocaine and other opiod pain killers.

Wishing you good health.
