Just been seen by GP. No obvious signs of serious spinal damage but seems whiplash is accurate. Prescribed a pretty hefty dose of co-codamol at 30 & 500 codeine and paracetamol respectively. I know I must not drink when taking these as even the paracetamol causes damage when mixed with alcohol alone
Oh, man, take care. Must be painful. Heal quickly.
Thanks. It's been a strange pain as it's shifted from burning stinging to a somewhat dull numb ache which doesn't make sense. It really made me stupid for a good while in conjunction with all the drinking & poor diet. It's been noticeably better lately after eating better, vitamins and drinking less
Stay strong although that must be hard. So sorry.
Thanks you're a goodun! I'm not big and tough but I've known extreme pain from getting broken bones a couple times and it was a couple points away from that a couple months ago, hence started drinking so much, due to a fear of painkiller addiction. A big mistake that made literally everything worse
I understand. I hope you don't feel guilt...I have medical MMJ to stay off vicodin. Bad back. Wishing you comfort.
I've not started drinking yet today, I'm at about 5 cans a day instead of 10. Having being idiotic enough to self detox previously some years back & bordering on or getting Delirium Tremens, I know what to look for. No sign of it yet. Got myself 4 cans in case it shows up. Avoiding beer else for now
Tried a bit of the ibuprofen gel on my neck; it maybe helped a bit already. Also had a strong hit of CBD extract which further helped, it reduced a slight alcohol craving to near zero. Interesting stuff. I'm having a better day overall than I've had for a while. Seems I'm happier for drinking less!🤷🏻♂️
