  • ouch James, i know what you mean about the pain killers, i fucked my wrist a few years back and damaged the carpel tunnel, which goes at times. Wierdly the only thing that seems to be helping my migraines is the prescribed concution of blood restricting/thinning and anti deps... odd, but a fag would be so, so nice....

    Yeah I had pretty major crush injuries from where the dashboard was wrapped around me up past my waist, that later turned into compartment syndrome, which then turned into me needing an operation to save my lower right leg, the main artery got constricted to the point of the blood supply being cut off to the limb, which then caused most of the nerves to die below my knee.
    I was numb from about half way down my calf all the way through my foot for just over 2 years, during which whilst the nerves were repairing or whatever I used to get what felt like jolting, electric shocks through my leg, which would sometimes turn into crazy spasms, despite being on shitloads of painkillers already I had a morphine injections on a couple of occasions at a & e after sometimes going nearly 3 days without sleep due to continually waking up from the pain, and that was in between the massive pain I used to get from the trauma to the muscle repairing, walking was extremely painful for around the first 3 years, sometimes it would literally feel like a 20 stone man had been jumping up and down on my leg, and I would have to sit down for a while before I could walk again, i've broken plenty of bones, but no injury I have ever had has compared to this.
    So after getting sick of being permenantly high on a huge cocktail of high dosage prescription meds for a couple of years (tramadol, codeine, paracetamol, amitriptyline, diclofenac sodium, and gabapentin, for those that are interested) to keep all this nerve pain etc under control, I took up smoking weed again to help me cope and to take my mind off of that shit, I then gradually cut down as I got better, but old habits die hard ;)
