I have a friend who has had two mastectomies. She became addicted to the prescription drugs she was given for pain.
Is she a sinner for that?
Or are the prescribing doctors sinners?
She has never harmed anyone else as a result of this addiction. She had to go through an intensive program to get off the drug. She is now going through three surgeries on her back. The nerve damage in her back was caused by the painkillers.
What does she do about the pain this time?
Spinal cord stimulators are effective at relieving back pain. Might be an option. I might be getting one.
