The DEA is making treatment of people with pain impossible unless you are terminal and in Hospice, and then it's okay. But short of that, not okay.

The DEA is making treatment of people with pain impossible …

I have been using Tylenol 3 (Tylenol with a very small amount of codeine) for arthritis pain for several years. I had been getting 30 pills every fall to last the winter. Hardly enough to supply the habit of a junkie. I do use 800 mg Ibuprofen daily. The Tylenol 3 is only for those winter nights when the pain is interfering with sleep.
I was recently assigned a new Primary Care Manager. Apparently he is fearful of prescribing narcotic analgesics. He would not issue the prescription.
