16 yrs of CP

I had an accident at work. Having CP is bad enough but that and workers comp too is like adding 20 years to sentence. I have lost my kneecap, lost my knee and had a total knee replacement I have had several falls so know I have low back pain.

I take 600 mg of Oxycontin CR, Effexor XR 300mg, Lexapro, Actiq 600mcg and many more medications to help me get out of bed each day. Just when I have almost have gotten a life…now my husband of 23 years gives me grief by calling me a drug addict, and states abuse and calls. We have been through multiples of surgeries 23 total, hours in hospitals, hundreds of injections and never a word. And now our marriage is in jeopardy. Just when I feel like I am making head the rug gets pulled again.
