Ok, so its a nice sunday morning, i figure ill go out and throw a nice coat of wax on the Z. Well, as i was sitting on the concrete in the garage, i either bruised or cracked my tailbone somehow. By thursday, i was in so much pain i could hardly walk, and by saturday, my wife finally convinced me to go see the doc. My tailbone was so swollen they had to cut it open to relieve the pressure. So now i have 2 holes in my ***. :mad: The moral of the story is, if you have to sit on the concrete to wax the car, get a stool!

OMG...thats some funny shiat.I'm sorry about your tailbone tho...if it makes you feel any better I think I may have cracked mine when I was a little younger at a baseball game (fell off the seat and onto the concrete...ouch)

My tail bone got bruised when I was in gym class on the floor mats. The teacher told us to do a diving roll, I think I dove a little bit too fast cause my *** pounded the mat so hard that I actually felt the hard wood floor underneath it (that mat was about 3inch think). But that was a long time ago, its all healed up now.

Sweet:) Something I may have to do this winter if it decides to snow down here....On the other hand I'd rather it NOT snow, PITA to drive the 240 in snow.

Anyone here watch King of the Hill? This reminds me of the episode Hank finds out he has a flat *** and needs fake but cheeks. It was one where they were racing riding mowers. You should find the help group he went to. Maybe they can help. haha

Well, Tylenol with Codeine isn't bad, but working in a pharmacy has its advantages in that you get to see what the "best stuff" is.

Vicodin/Hydrocodone is slightly better than Tylenol w/ codeinePercocet/Oxycodone is what you want if you're really hurting.

And if you're from the south, they have Happy Harry's down there . . . you'd have to wonder why Harry would be Happy in a drug store.

Masterman can't be in enough pain to need oxycodone...I've had it before, never take 3 pills at the same time no matter how much pain you're in. You'll be flyin like a kite for a loooong time.

I think oxycodone is the strongest self administered pain medicine you can get...everything else (ie. morphine) is hospital use only.

Vicodin does absolutely nothing for me...but ibuprofen works great! Morphine doesn't do much either...but maybe I just didn't have very much of it, the pain was certainly still there :(

Vicodin sucks arse, morpheine is made so that the pain is there, but you don't give a sh1t.

Actually, I think hydromorphone or hydromorphine is available through pharmacies, and if it is in fact a derivative of morphine, which I also think it is, then you can get self-administered morphine. :-) I'll check at work today to see if that's what it really is (I'm just a pharmacy technican, which is a glorified way of saying I can count pills)

There are very strict rules on prescriptions for narcotics like Percocet/Oxycodone, Amphetamine salts, and even things like Ritalin, Concerta, and Adderall. Prescriptions for such medications cannot have refills, and the prescription can only be filled once (meaning if the prescription is written for 90 tablets, but you only want 30, then 30 will be all you can get from that prescription, and you will have to contact your doctor for another script after that). There are also strict inventory checks that must be done for all narcotics, with a complete record of which narcotics have been dispensed to which patient, with an exact quantity. Lots of work for pharmacies to dispense those medications . . .

oxycodone, like any other prescribed narcotic, is highly addictive when abused. When taken per prescription (IE not taking matters into your own hands like me and taking 1 more pill that prescribed) the whole addiction thing is easy to overcome. Tolerance however, thats a different story. When I was on oxycodone I had a tolerance level so high that it TOOK 3 pills to work moderately well.
