on the flip side....Drs are so freaked out about opioids that dealing with pain is a problem for people who have genetic problems with drugs.
I have lost track of the times Drs treated me like I was a drug addict when I would say NSAIDS dont work on me and neither does Oxy or percocet.
I finally got the official genetic test put in my records and the STILL treat me like a drug fiend.
I have Eagles Syndrome. Screw the whole medical profession that doesnt even know what it is and once they do they dont want to give you medicine to deal with the crazy pain.
For example, tramadol is one of the drugs used for this. I can’t use tramadol. I also cant use tricyclic antidepressant that are used for pain.
There are some people in the world that actually do need help with pain.
Tramadol is the most worthless painkiller on the market. I often wonder why it is even a controlled substance. I call it the pain killer that is based on the placebo effect.
and btw, a pharmacologist said Fentanyl should work for me. Put aside the addiction issue... I laughed out loud. No Doctor is going to prescribe that for me. Again, they are freaked out about addiction.
The doctor prescribed tramadol for me when I had both my knees replaced. Nasty stuff. Did nothing for the pain, just made me delirious. I didn't bother taking any more of it.
Oxycodone, works great for me. Without them on hand for the times when pain is overpowering, is a miracle.
