Problem On Top Of Problem

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] This actor was injured this year. It was a bad enough injury to keep him sidelined for a while.

He will recover from the injury. However, he may now have a new problem!

He pretends that he is not on any meds and is just toughing it out, but he is really loving those pain pills and is having a tough time putting the bottle down.

    Alternative pain management only……addiction is no joke, and a 50/50 chance, so why risk it?

    • Umm, unless you’re talking about paracetamol or ibuprofen I’m pretty sure they are ALL potentially addictive. ..

  15. Tom Cruise. I would take the pain medication. I’ve never had any issues with addiction so I wouldn’t worry about getting hooked on pain meds.

    • Opioids aren’t dangerous *if* they’re used as directed *and* only when you’re really in physical pain to the extent that you *need* the drugs. You can’t just take them every four hours until they’re gone or addiction is almost guaranteed.

      You can take them as and when needed for decades without problems if you follow this advice. I know, because I’ve taken vicodin, fentanyl and etc. for cancer and other diseases regularly for fifteen years and am not addicted.

  16. Oh what I wouldn’t give to see that crazy * go to rehab! Please, universe, please! #TeamNicole #TeamKatie

    Toughen up buttercup. I have had 8 bad sprains/ankle fractures & 3 ankle surgeries. And I strut in stilettos today.

    But I’m not as old as Tom. He can work those lifts again in his shoes in no time.

    • Wow! They are just shoes, and it is worth it to wear more modest heels now so that you are not forced to wear compression socks (or worse) on the regular when you get older. Those stilettoes won’t look as sexy when you develop cankles…

    I’d try and tough it out. That’s a really slippery slope and easy to fall all the way to the bottom!

  26. Ryan Phillipe, and I have needed pain pills but because of the addiction issues some people have, my doc wouldn’t give me enough. I had to turn to the bottle and get drunk because of the pain. Then physical therapy made the pain worse for awhile until it finally started helping. I am now pain free and no addiction problems. I had to budget my pain pills and take them with whisky. My teenage nephew bit his tongue off playing baseball and was given Oxycontin. I was flabbergasted.

    I’d take meds if needed for a short time. Last major surgery I had I was off them in 2 days. I hate them and how they make me feel. Hot flashes suck.

  38. Tom Cruise — another problem he has is Scientology. They frown upon using medication unnecessarily, and in some cases, using it at all.

    If I were injured, I’d take the meds. There is no reason to be in pain.

  39. Tom Cruise.
    Guess the pain overwhelmed his Scientology beliefs long enough for him to like the Norco! I broke my foot and it was more pain than I had with 2 C-sections and 3 shoulder surgeries. Broken bones are the worst, and the foot and ankle bones most of all IMHO.

  41. Could this be our favorite crazy, pill-hating Scientologist himself?? Tom Cruise.

    I’m no martyr. Hand over the meds.

  42. Actor:: Tom Cruise – broke his ankle a few weeks ago while performing a stunt for the new ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie

    [Optional] If you were injured, would you take pain medication or just try to “tough it out”?: :
    I’ve been toughing it out every day for over 22 years – I suffer with, among other conditions, Fibromyalgia and never take ANYTHING and just live through the pain, even on days when it’s a 10+ level.

  43. Tom Cruise

    I’d take the medium road – take as few of the meds as possible but why suffer needlessly?

  45. Tom Cruise as a result of that stunt he f’d up!

    I take medication as a last resort but I will take it if I need to.

  47. Tom Cruise. He is a freak out Scientologist that I hope one day he will just admit it is a failure.
    He is so full of himself that 3 Marriages and 3 Divorces! It can’t be all their faults!
