I can tell neither you nor any of your loved ones suffer chronic pain. Pray you stay that way
I have a ruptured disc in my lower back and have suffered intermittently many times during the last 20 years. I also remain without an anterior cruciate ligament in my left knee for about 40 years. I have refused to take the hard drugs and take the OTC medications. I view pain as part of getting old and do all I can to remain mobile. I follow the label explicitly to avoid the adverse effects and cease taking them as soon as I can stand it. This is me. I have no problem with others that want to take the narcotics, but I will not addict myself to anything.
