Don’t really understand what you’re saying. Ever hear of Tramadol? Prescription Strength Ibuprofen? NOthing wrong with short term narcotics.
My young friend who was life lined to Louisville after a car accident is still in constant pain. He tells me smoking pot relieves his pain better than any opioids But he can’t smoke because of his employment so after resisting taking them for six years it’s his only choice. Please name more choices he can take.
When I was going to a pain center they were adamantly against use of narcotics or opiods. They put me on anything but except for immediate pain relief for a few days after invasive procedures like nerve ablatins.
