That poor woman should have seen a pain specialist. Ever increasing doses of narcotic meds are not efficacious after a certain point. Oral narcotic medications can only do so much, and there is a point where they become ineffective, even at high doses; indeed, high doses of narcotics are very dangerous. The addition of adjunct pain medications (Lyrica, gabapentin, nortriptyline, etc.) might have really helped her. Iintrathecal delivery of narcotic medication might also have been an option, which would utilize much safer doses of narcotics along with other non-narcotic pain meds such as clonidine, ketamine, lidocaine, Prialt, etc. Changes in her narcotic-type pain medications should have been tried (Suboxone, Dilaudid, methadone, etc.) As well, nerve blocks might have helped her.

Did you know morphine , heroin , “narcotics” etc. were legal in the USA up until the progressive era of the early 1900’s .

Were they so dangerous then? And now that there is Google and the Internet available you say they are dangerous now that people can see what the real effects are by doing a Google search.

I guess you trust government thugs to keep us children safe from ourselves right?
