Well, it all depends on what they consider pain pills, In November, I had a 4-way bypass, open heart surgery, and the only thing I had for pain was Tylanol. And beleive me, I’m a big chicken when it comes to pain.
Agreed. this article is bullshit. I take Hydrocodone on ocasion because of arthritis and increasingly debilitating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both hands, wrists, arms, to the shoulders/collar bones.
Also suffer from severe sinus pain, esp. during this past allergy season, aggravated by a major bronchial tract cough and infections.
Hydrocodone is super Acetaphetimen. I’m not sure what the hospital gave me after cardiac arrest/ stents, defibrilator/pacemaker implant, but I’m not addicted to anything.
Also, we are getting older as a nation and along with that comes pains from old injuries (I’ll give you mine if you want); pain from war injuries; bone deterioration (ask my wife if you want to know about this type of pain); and some specific diseases.
Anyone can abuse a drug. Smart people don’t, and live longer. Dummies abuse drugs and die. That’s the way it is.
Dummies also drive too fast, and die. Dummies also drink and drive (my son had to bury two of his best friends who did, and that hurt him more than seeing enemy dead in Iraq).
This is just another “tear down America” story from the dying nation of England. Wait till I write their obituary -
“Died from marxism, unlimited immigration, Islamic-jihad & Sharia law, and lousy food. And you criticized America?”
