I have avascular necrosis in mu right hip, and probably spreading. Constant pain, even asleep, to the point that I've trained myself to roll over in bed without waking myself from an inept move. I occasionally take prescription-strength naproxen (Aleve, 600 mg). I turned down the opiates the VA offered me; I have enough addiction issues as it is.
I deal with it mainly with mental outlook. I've always been something of stoic, and so I deal with it mainly through conditioning my mind. Most days, this works. If I take a wrong step, well, John Henry will pull me up by the short hairs. The VA will give me a hip replacement one day, probably after I'm buried. Fuckin' twats.
