Extra lube and a couple of beers have worked for me....
Wow. You should tell him to GTFO.......
This. We are in control here, not the disease....
Tramadol and Vicodin? Everyday? Not trying to sound judgmental...but that seems like a lot. I assume you are on some type of long term pain management therapy? I mean, I took vicodin after my surgery...
Yeah, I see orange down there too. Not too concerned about it......
You're amongst friends here and you're not alone. Lots of folks here dealing with various forms of this crap (heh). Welcome....

32 year old guy here. Sorry to say, your ex is a loser who is probably an emotional midget. Couldn't even visit you in the hospital? The person I was dating for only a week came and visited me when I...
