Every night I hope that I don't wake up the next morning. But every morning the pain wakes me up and I know I'm alive. I will GLADLY run the risk of "addiction" (DSM-V definition) to effect the result of less pain. But I'm not given that opportunity😭

I was going through the same. When I was prescribed Etoricoxib, I took it the night before, and in the morning when there was no pain, I was just so happy. I had actually forgotten how it felt to wake up without any pain but that morning was just so nice. But I can't take the medication every day so that's bad.

I feel the same way!!
