10 weeks ago i fell and badly tore my ankle ligaments,i was given 500/30mg of co codomal,i took 3 or 4 a day for the first couple of weeks and then down to 1 aday,if i don't take one a day my body really starts to ache badly,is this something to do with the pain killers and what should i do.

just throw them in the toilet and flush. deal with the pain and the withdrawal. you'll feel better soon. get rid of them ASAP. this is more of a dangerous situation than you know.

Ween yourself off. Take one every other day for two days then one every three days and so on. It is easy to be come addicted....

call your Dr that gave you the subscriptions or your family Dr...

you certainly can be addicted to them, they are members of the opiate family...see your GP ASAP.

go to a detox,prescription drug addiction,and alcohol, can kill you if you try to stop cold turkey.but if you are down to only one a day, try taking half for awhile ,then a little less ,until none.

Coedine will make you constipated as it is an opiate, co-codamol is coedine with paracetamol so no strictly as bad as coedine (too much paracetamol will bugger your liver) but if you are needing to take any painrelief after 10 weeks you need to seek medical attention.
