“I hate drugs.”
Before the VA quit treating vets for chronic pain, they used to give me 5mg morphine per day.
Do you hate that?
DO what you have to do. Spouse takes all sorts medication for chronic pain. I don’t even take vitamins. The ER gave my kid morphine for a shoulder dislocation this week. 3 hour wait he couldn’t take the pain any longer as he waited to have it put back in.. When the orthopedist came out to speak with me he said he never gives morphine that it’s really not that strong. Go figure.
