Now he is in pain most of the time and doesn't know what he should take.

Hmmm, my doctorate isn't in medicine (heh heh), however: live life in continous pain... or accept a slight risk of increased chance of heart attack?

I know what my choice would be, and it isn't the former. Or become long-term opiate user; studies have shown there is little overall risk with long-term moderate dose opiates, and the people taking it are perfectly functional (i.e., not off in lala-land).

He's damned hard to get along with when he is hurting.
