]]> Comment on Chronic Pain Management—The Role of the Hijacked Brain by Sharlyn Brown http://www.addiction-free.com/blog/chronic-pain-management%e2%80%94the-role-of-the-hijacked-brain/#comment-9440 Sharlyn Brown Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:38:50 +0000 http://www.addiction-free.com/blog/chronic-pain-management%e2%80%94the-role-of-the-hijacked-brain/#comment-9440 Than you very much for this post, particularly the part about Pseudoaddiction, that hit home with me, I have recently had a 16 year chronic pain issue relieved, well actually it seems "fixed" I'm now however having some issues with withdrawals from prescription pain relief. It seems wrong to be taking painkillers when the old pain isn't there but the relief from these new symptoms is relieved within 30 minutes. I've gone from almost 20 prescription painkillers a day to 1/2 a day, but it bugged me that it's any at all. I will keep reading the articles but wanted to comment on this post. The website I added is the blog of the doctor that "fixed" my lower back pain in San Diego I hope that's ok, Than you very much for this post, particularly the part about Pseudoaddiction, that hit home with me, I have recently had a 16 year chronic pain issue relieved, well actually it seems “fixed” I’m now however having some issues with withdrawals from prescription pain relief.

I am going to order your publications and plan to use them. I've been in recovery for over 15 years and lately I've been very concerned that my chronic pain and the meds I need to take mean I have lost my "sobriety." I've looked at a number of your articles and believe me I have a new sense of hope and relief. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Joe R. Dr. Grinstead,

Personally I knew it was time for me to have surgery when I began to reach for more drugs beyond the pain meds to control my pain. I knew that if there was something that gave me relief, there would be no denying that I would be consuming it whether it was harmful or not. Now I am trying to deal with accepting the fact that chronic pain can return and I feel that I am not as equipped to deal with it this time. So i guess i want to deny my denial.
