Do not take pain medicine bro! Its not worth long term damage!
Advil is what I use when I use anything for pain but that is very rare.
Noone with a full understanding and grasp of pain meds is going to advise the use of them... they are a bigger killer than you can ever imagine and especially any sort of mix with steroids.. avoid them as much as you can... i dont go near them whatsoever... the only thing i use and that is ONLY as needed is ibuprofein but that should also be kept quite minimal and thats only because i have such bad nagging injuries... i try to avoid even that as much as possible...
That is not true whatsoever. I’ve been on big doses and came off cold turkey without any issues.

If you broke your leg and they gave you tramadol, you need to send a complaint to yours state medical board about that. Tramadol is garbage and one of the weakest opioids. You’d have better results on high dose ibuprofen. Nobody’s going to sell you legit pain meds, you can only get that on the streets and likely risk death doing so
Yes YOU got off cold turkey I believe YOU but majority, like 80% of people who take prescription pain medication become addicted
you are lucky to be part of the 20% not addicted
I will say this. Only a trusted high reviewed doctor should be prescribing pain pills. They should never be used without close doctor supervision
Difference with PEDs is they arent addictive. Pain pills are gateway drugs to hard rec drugs

That is far from the truth and they are currently rewriting cdc guidelines because that is not true and the study saying the doctors are at fault is gone since that is also fault. Opioid use disorder, which is what you’re speaking of, has an incidence in real studies of .1% to 34%. Chronic pain patients average at 3.4% which would be the highest instance based on your theory. The actual largest percentage occurs with mentally unstable people that clearly shows that opioids are not addictive to the extent you’re saying, it’s the nut jobs out there that get addicted to anything or cannot handle their emotions. Similar how they shouldn’t own guns, they shouldn’t take addictive medications, alcohol, etc. Now that doesn’t mean they’re addicted, but at risk since they’re abusing the medication in the first place. The information you’ve heard is lies and doctors are just as guilty as spreading misinformation about this as the government. Everyone wants to blame something rather than someone. The fact is, all this is a political pony and states are using this to sue pharmas for BS to pad their pockets.
I'm not disagreeing that some people can quit opioids, just like some people can quit heroin but MAJORITY will get addicted. While I had mad respect for you that you can quit, I have multiple family members heavy addicted to pain meds after basic tooth surgery and 1 died already, it's not joke.
I’m not saying it’s a joke or that it doesn’t happen. I’m saying the statistics you’re speaking to are not factual. Certain people have higher risks, longer use increases risk, dose generally over 50mme, and long acting versions all are the risks. Some people have their lives saved from these drugs, so although I’m sorry that you’ve experienced that, the opinion you’re stating is not correct and you shouldn’t spread false data based on opinions. The fact is opioids we’re at an all time low prescription wise and deaths and overdoses sky rocketed showing that it’s not pills since this practice has been in play forever. Suicide is all too common from people in pain and spreading false information to the public. Here’s another fact, “ Chronic pain was present in 9% of 123,000 people who died by suicide. The rate rose over time from 7% to 10%, while suicide rates from opioid overdose remained the same (2%).” Please deal with your loss on your own and do not spread false assumptions because you have an emotional tie to it because that ideology is clearly causing a significant impact on death than the pills themselves or doctors when that’s not the case and the facts I’ve sent via studies proves that. Again, sorry for you loss.
I agree with a lot of what you say. But the guys are also correct - pain meds are over prescribed and poorly managed. We've had two posts, inc this one, where it's clear to the reader (if not the OP) that the OP WANTS more pain meds vs needs (as they claim). That docs are now beginning to restrict their use is good.
Yeah, it’s not as much of an issue now as it once was. Like I was saying the CDC just changed their opioid guidelines because of the reduced prescriptions and it not having any impact. They also started releasing most of the deaths are heroin and fentanyl. I presume a significant amount of those are actually pain patients that got cut off and they are trying to reduce pain. It’s sad I’ve seen people with open heart surgery literally get 5 hydrocodone which is a moderate strength opioid. Now it’s being exploited by states as they sue all these pharmas over oxy. Like that money is going to anyone actually impacted over that misleading advertising to doctors. It’s sad all around and one of those things that’ll never be perfect. It’s going to come down to the users being responsible and acknowledging the risks vs reward.
I would strongly suggest avoiding pain medications as much as possible
It’s important to note American merchants became rich selling opioids to the Chinese in the 1800s
Coke and heroin were legal in 1900 in the USA with 250k Americans addicted
There are records dating back to 3400BC of Sumerians getting the Assyrians hooked on what they called the joy plant poppy’s
Alex the great took them to Asia
So my point is addictions have been around since humans started to develop civilizations. Our minds are very complex and no matter what there is no solution to it aside from purely avoiding anything that is addictive in the first place
