I happen to be one of those people who never had a drug abuse problem; if anything, I've been too conservative about taking meds than I should be, and have oftentimes denied myself a sedative when I should have taken one.I want and need an occasional tablet of codeine to make my days more bearable. I've already tried many other treatment modalities for a shoulder injury, including acupuncture, ultrasound and hot pack. I'm not interested in having my comfort levels dictated to by people whose values about pain tolerance create additional difficulties for me, on top of the physical pain.
