But there are a lot of people like me and now you who are in some kind of pain.

Right.

I don't even bother going to the doctor.

I'm not going to get adequate.

My pain is not going to get adequately treated.

I'm going to be told to go to PT and take some Advil.

I already know what's going to happen.

And I don't like taking pain medication just because anyway, like that's not my thing.

But I'm also a victim of feeling so afraid of being addicted to pain medication that I don't take it even in circumstances where I probably should.

When I had that thing cut out of my neck, they offered to give me pain medication, but I never took it.

When I had my root canal, the guy was like, let me give you like, you know, a couple of days worth of pain medication because you're probably going to feel like, you know, miserable.

I didn't take it.

But this time I was just like, oh my God, I'm in so much pain.

And so a friend of a friend of a friend called a Spanish doctor and that Spanish doctor called in not pain medication, but like a Flexeril.

So like a strong muscle relaxer.

That really helped me sleep, but still did not take care of the problem.

I still couldn't get that.

I felt like I needed to crack it.

It just wouldn't go there.

Couldn't turn my head.
