[QUOTE="ksm, post: 695627, member: 12511"] You, or your son, will have to be honest with the doctor and have the discussion about pain medications. It is a common problem. My son hurt his back at 18, and had to have a spinal fusion surgery at 27 years old. He was on pain medications before and after surgery. Getting off of them was awful, and once the doctor cut down or stopped the pain medications, he turned to street drugs. It is very hard physically and emotionally to stop pain medications. The doctor wanted my son to take one less pain pill a day, until he was. Not taking any. Worst instructions ever!! I researched the medication, and found that my son should only decrease 10% a week!! He went thru horrible withdrawals...and ended up hospitalized, and put back on the same medications thru his IV. Have the talk...if your son won't do it, you can leave a message with the doctor about your concerns. The doctor may not discuss this with you, but you could write a letter for your sons medical records. KSM [/QUOTE]
