I saw a spine specialist this week and asked if I took any meds for my arthritis...I said no (ie, NSAIDS, Tylenol, etc)....I said they don’t work...he nodded in agreement. I said the chronic pain community used to have pain medication that worked until the opioid crisis took the option away. These medications do work and help chronic pain sufferers and most often do not cause addiction. I am not I need of this level of intervention, at this point, but wanted him to hear the truth.
