1. Migraines
Based off of personal experience (not my own, but one’s I’ve witnessed, personally) and some research, I’ve concluded that the best injuries to fake for pain meds is a simple migraine. We’ll start with the personal experience. My mother’s ex-husband along with the sister of my friend with the back pain from the intro both suffered from migraines. He was never seen regularly for his troubles, and she—like her sister—had regular doctor visits, but not related to her migraines. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME they would step into the ER plagued with a migraine, they would float out (get it? I’ll wait for it… Got it, now? Haha!). Boy, do I have some stories of how “high” they would get but we’ll save that for another day. Although, I can’t help but mention the time he mistook the ice for imitation crab meat and filled every glass, not able to figure out why the tea “tasted funny”. So you can imagine they weren’t getting any wimpy pain pills. Now, granted they actually HAD migraines, BUT MRI’s and CT scans can’t really see your migraine; only if it is the consequence of a more serious condition, like a brain tumor an aneurysm. You’ll just have to decide whether the large hospital bill is worth the prize.
But in all seriousness, if you’re thinking about best injuries to fake for pain meds (and you obviously are, otherwise you would not have ventured onto the article)—just don’t! The woman I keep mentioning; her sister. Both dead and both could have probably lived a lot longer had they not had so many drug related issues. Speaking from personal experience, again—the people who love and care about you don’t want to see you being lowered into the ground in a fancy wooden box.
