1 in 4 people dependent on painkillers (From York Press)

That'll be everyone who reads the posts of P.P. Then.

Ouch!

Ouch!

I take Tramadol for pain, and Naproxin
to control the swelling without which,
I CANNOT walk.
I am not addicted, in fact I try to cut down on numbers whenever possible, only to be told by my GP ...... Your on strong painkillers for a reason use them !!!
Exercise ? (When the pain is bearable I take every opportunity to swim)
Do me a favour, Go patronise elsewhere

The second one was at the thought - "no - no pedalling paracetemol"

I'll get my tramadol.

its going to get worse to when NHS privatisation kicks in. Less operations to cut costs so more dependancy on drugs. Well done goverment, you toffy nose eton gits, it will be no surprise your chums on these insurance, pharmaceutical and hospital suppliers start getting a nice increase in demand.They then can give your parties a nice donation.

that is yet to come !!!!

Well I was given tramadol and still have at least 8 packs....decided against them even though I have worked in the pain arena. For me exercise from the physio and joint injection of steroids made the most difference. It is very easy to become dependant on pain medication, this does not mean not taking it but looking at triggers for pain, when painkillers are needed and when movement is best. Fear of pain is awful and unless you have had chronic pain you will find it hard to understand. Listen to your body, talk to a physio and do the exercises the difference will astound you. My Mum was unable to pick us up when we were kids and was limited due to back pain, 20 years ago she was referred to a physio, did the exercises and now at 76 is fitter than me, she did those exercises religiously for years and reaped the benefit.

3 in 4 youths dependent on Mcdonalds.

Me old ma and pa have to take an assortment of prescribed drugs and painkillers every morning. I watch them and think "The amount of blow and the number of mushrooms I did when I was younger is nothing compared to this". You could pick both of them up, shake them and make them rattle. For old people, Snap, Crackle and Pop aren't breakfast cereals anymore. It's a classic sign of a system that's out of control. Script happy GP's processing comfort in a bottle.

In the old days before when you could eat or smoke anything for an ailment (before politics got into drugs and vice versa), drug dependency or taking was probably not anywhere near as high as it is now. A nice eighth of Moroccan Black (which you could argue is a natural herbal remedy as opposed to a manufactured one) does wonders for arthritis and there's nothing more telling about where a society has gone wrong when you see two burly coppers in hi-vis vests man-handling a one-legged disabled man with chronic arthritis into the back of one of their ice cream vans for the crime of smoking dope to give pain relief.

How do you become part of the clique on here? I want to make jibes at local cycling enthusiasts, laugh at the area's more "colourful" alcoholic residents and berate the city's politicians for their ineptitude, but I'm worried nobody will ever reply to me. What do I have to do to get people to copy and paste my posts into an amusing reply and not feel like a massive social outcast?

I'm sure all this copying and pasting of the same thing +1 new comment is annoying a few people. I may as well paint a bullseye on my face.

As advised in the posts above. OR ... alternatively, make a couple of spelling or grammatical errors and you'll be pounced on soon enough !

I'll bear that in mind. The next thing you'll be telling me there is no wine here and hasn't been since some time in the late 60s.

Timcore - a bullseye would make a change from the usual bull product found on this site :) Ah! The pain!

Dear hustler,

There shouldn't be a space between the last letter of "enough" and the exclamation mark. And, the use of both "OR" (no need for a capital 'R') and "alternatively" is superfluous as they mean the same.

See me...

ro ohmefentanyl a day but it still doesn't dull the pain of being a City supporter.

Really laughing at some of these posts.
