You have no idea what you are talking about. People taking pain meds after surgeries are always taken off them after a few days and doctors will not prescribe any for them after that.

You are lucky that you have never had a problem that kept you in chronic pain.

There are people that legitimately need pain meds for chronic pain due to all sorts of reasons and now they're forced to live at home in bed in pain and wishing for death because they cannot afford the cost of new meds.

If you have chronic pain and have no relief you are screwed because you can't do anything but think of pain. Forget about working again.

I don’t understand what you are ranting about—I said I agree that people need pain meds. Just because they don’t work on me doesn’t mean they don’t work on others.

I said it was a problem because I do child welfare work and there are lots of parents who are addicted.

Maybe you meant to rant at someone else?
