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.

    Actor: Tom Cruise

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

    • justcurious says

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

  15. Aurora says

    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.

    • NYCBunny says

      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.

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

    Tom Cruise
    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.

    • jbj2016 says

      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…

    Tom Cruise

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

  26. Goodgrief says

    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.

    Tom Cruise

    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. PollyMetropolitan says

    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. amulbunny says

    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. LeeLee12345 says

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

    I’m no martyr. Hand over the meds.

  42. IAmSage says

    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. nycmadam says

    Tom Cruise

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

  45. Neduardo says

    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. stanton says

    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!

  52. theshadylady says

    I’m hoping not because of “actor” but it will be really sad if this is Steve-O because he has been so good in his recovery. He has had a couple major injuries this year that he says he only uses Advil for. I hope it’s not him.

  54. tinabopper says

    Tom Cruise on the set of Mission Impossible 6.

    I always take the meds for a day or two, and then stop and try to tough it out.

  55. little leigh says

    Jeremy Renner (or Tom Cruise, although he was injured more recently and it sounds like this was a while ago)

  56. amagod121 says

    Oh, it’s our old friend, Grin, from Ace’s old “Chip and Grin,” blinds! Mr. Tiptoe (as in standing on them for greater height,) Tommmmmy Cruise!

    Oh yeah, I would! I am a totally weenie when it comes to severe pain. But my mind doesn’t react to that stuff, luckily. Mr. Tiptoe Tommy had better watch his step, though, as his love for all things Thetan might turn into love for all things Miss Cabbage be hatin!

  57. bhakti says

    I’m thinking maybe Tom Cruise because he broke his ankle and the picture is of a brunette male with an injured ankle/foot.
    I personally love pain meds and take them if the dr. feels I need them. I’m sure COS isn’t thrilled but if he needs them, he should take them.

  59. KCeagle says

    Tom Cruise

    I’d only take what my doctor prescribed and advised me what’s best, and my own personal opinion on how to manage my pain. If the pain meds provide me a little extra lift…oh well. Smoking pot relieves pain symptoms also, without the addiction risks. Legalize it already. Alchohol is much worse than weed. Fact.

    Actor: Tom Cruise injured while doing a stunt for MI6

    clues: Top in the title, for Top Gun

    [Optional] If you were injured, would you take pain medication or just try to “tough it out”? Pain meds as long as the doctor prescribes them.

  62. Jelly Drop says

    Tom Cruise versus the wall.

    I have a high pain tolerance and avoid pain killers if possible. Better IMO to know when there is pain so you can know to avoid worsening it. But i have never had chronic pain – that i understand is a different ball game.

  69. Kingofboggle says

    Knowing Scientology’s fondness for pharmaceuticals….*ahem*…. I’m gonna say this is Jeremy Renner

  70. Martini says

    There is no way this is Tom Cruise; he is way too disciplined and has too much of a support system with Scientology.

  71. MsSumida says

    TOM CRUISE

    The problem with pain pills may not be the physical relief, but the emotional relief the can falsely make you feel you’re having. If you don’t hurt physically, especially after doing something demanding, then all is right with the world, right Superman?

  72. BobNYC says

    This is Dylan O’Brien. He’s had a mild drug problem for a long time. It’s sad because he is truly talented. Hope he gets some support.

  73. jonty30 says

    That’s why I don’t use pain meds that are based in opiates. If I’m in pain, I will keep popping Tylenol or Advil extra strength as I need to, but I will not use anything with opiates.

  78. TonySheridan says

    Tom Cruise for sure. What a kick, and I hope Brooke Shields is snickering.

    Pain pills, for sure! I’m coming at it from a different view. I grew up in a family that felt that suffering was a gift to God, so no pain pills, even aspirin. It was hell to be around, because no one suffered in silence.
