You guys have saved me during times of flare ups and no access to health care. Literally changed my life. I have taken periodically opioid therapy along with physical therapy. Definitely a genuine and therapeutic combo in times of physical crisis.
This is bull. When you're in pain you need something you shouldn't have to bag your doctor after 3 days after 6 days after 9 days. I had back surgery they did fusion and I couldn't walk for 5 months. I was screaming every time I moved. And yet when I said I was in pain they asked couldn't I go off of the pain medicine. I told them the pain medicine didn't help. Nothing helps. You shouldn't have to feel like a druggie at the age of 69 and in pain. This is a terrible system, you do not feel a buzz you do not even hardly feel any relief. The people that are in pain can't get the medicine now that they need. I had total shoulder replacement surgery 2 months ago. I sit here everyday with ice and heat, and no pain meds. There really is something wrong with our system.
Look into kratom. I started taking that back around 2014-2015. Best thing that God ever gave me. I have back injury problems just like Brad I have stenosis and spondylodesis as well as sciatic pain arthritis in my hips and my left knee tendonitis in my arms. Let's just say that aging has not been very graceful with me. And Kratom just takes the pain away it's the best anti-inflammatory I have ever had. Works like an opioid without the addiction and without the withdrawal. And the best part is is that it's natural.
I had similar situation. Couldn’t walk for eight months, turned out dr put metal piece in my nerve. Doctor messed up, he had to go in and take out metal. Helped immediately. That’s just one of my issues. My injuries were extensive. I’ve had six surgeries. I’m doing much better now. I had six stem cell injections. Very costly but it is healing me slowly. Good luck.
It's discouraging to live with chronic pain and to be treated like a criminal when seeking the only relief Rockefeller doctors know of. Kratom helps me a little, but nothing like the dramatic results so many claim. I've had to make major lifestyle changes in order to lessen the all over pain I have. Also, I NEVER get a buzz! Even when I was taking 350mg daily. Now they've got me on 50mg a day, which does nothing for the pain, but keeps me from the agony of withdrawal. If I had been told the truth when I was first prescribed this garbage 20 years ago, you'd better believe I would have refused! I did not have an addictive personality, but now I'm chemically dependent. What's the difference!
The kratom made me vomit every time I took it it did stop my pain though. I wasn’t taking but just a tiny amount because any type of pain medication does make me nauseous but really that’s the only complaint I have with it. It’s kinda hard to dose it just right.
I’ve been on and off opioids for twenty-three years. For the last six years I’ve been on Brutrans pain patch (opioids pain patch, not as strong as fentanyl). My back pain was chronic for years. The more I took the opioids the more I needed. I started out with pills and they made me up and down all day long. Pain patches helped regulate the ups and downs but I also had to increase dosage. Opioids surround nerve endings and make them more sensitive. It takes time to go off them. Very slowly, you decrease dosage because the medication is all over body cells including your brain. You have emotional and body detoxing. Eventually you will get back feelings in your body and in your head. Your taste buds return, your mental fog goes away. Very very important to go slowly. I didn’t like taking them but I couldn’t handle the chronic severe back pain. I’ve had six stem cell injections over two years now and I am currently going down on the dosage. No pain but the detoxing is hard.
My doc stopped mine cold turkey I tried to take my own life150 oxy and 600 pregablin.9 days laying in my own feces I couldn't walk spinal surgery I bought 500 vallium and wanted out took the lot slept 5 days taking to hospital 3 times nearly died fucking evil drug
@@kimsmith7212 I believe most people if given informed consent would chose the pain over the months of withdrawal from pain meds ect.Including me id have had spinal surgery wide awake.
This doesn’t cover the fact that some people need to take them long term, because they HAVE long term conditions. There are no other options for chronic pain sufferers. They’re not drug addicts looking for heroin, or a high, they’re looking for pain RELIEF.
@@dcat2004 everything is dangerous if abused... real reason FDA doesn’t want to approve it is because big pharmaceutical companies will lose billions. Why do you think they never wanted weed to be legal and spend billions on the “war on drugs”... big pharma, big oil control much more then people realize.
@@dcat2004 Don't trust any alphabet agency! Research how western, allopathic, Rockefeller medicine got its start. Check out the board members of FDA and big pharma. Definitely some dirty work going on! First thing we must all really let sink deep into our brains is the fact that corporations have profit as the main goal - not our wellbeing.
It's people like this guy who is making it a real hassle for people like me who has had a total knee replacement . All the oxycodone does is take most of the pain and make me very tired. I couldn't do all the needed knee stretchs without a good pain reliever. Your making people think their a druggie by using what is so important for full recovery. I want it until I need and not be made to feel bad for doing so !
Yes. I had a trimalleoler ankle break this past Feb 26. Had surgery with a plate and 11 screws. They had me taking so much over the counter garbage that I wound up in the hospital with chest pains. 18 k bill later , lotsa tests ,the nurse said thats what it could have been. I just wish they would given what I needed. I still have really shitty days all these months later. Can't move 4 of my toes and no one knows why. I never got "high" on anything they prescribed so it isn't about that for me. Always had a high tolerance for anything ever prescribed over the last 40 years. I still don't understand how people are getting high on codeine. Did nothing for me for my migraines. No heroin left here in philly btw. Its a Fentanyl. Go to my Instagram and look at my stories. You can see them mixing the Fentanyl with water and shoot it right up. Zero heroine. I watch them smoke crack, meth, and shoot Fentanyl.
Yup. I have a chronic pain condition that leads to frequent joint injuries and pain from those and the subsequent surgeries. There’s no “cure” for me and all the PT in the world is like gingers in the holes of a damn, keeping parts of me together. Prescription pain medication allows me a semblance of life and the ability to do some needed PT and work. I’m a disabled mom of 2 who is just trying to keep up with my kids and not fall apart. Before the demonization if opioids I was able to get them more easily and get through more physical activity, get my degrees, etc. Once they became suspicious of every patient and doctor, the amount prescribed needed for me to go about life dropped away and now I’ve lost my career and had to move back with family. Everyone, please think before putting opinions out there. I’m a neuroscientist and understand addiction risk, but I also know statistics, and patients in pain were never the problem and are obviously not now.
Exactly! CDC lied the opiate epidemic is from illicit fentanyl and heroin NOT pain meds prescribed to the patient. This is an Agenda pushed by big Pharma! This is a push for Suboxone and Buprenorphine which are addiction meds. They are trying to push 10s of millions of Americans with chronic and intractable pain into using these addiction meds! Millions of cancer patients, intractable pain patients and veterans have been treated like addicts and forceably taken off of their medications. Many have killed themselves due to the horrors of untreated pain. This #GreatOpioidLie is harming millions! Prescription pains have plummeted but ODs from heroin and illicit fentanyl have risen. This is not a drug war but a war against people..
It does not cause brain damage. It changes receptor levels and those with active physical addiction have psych changes. IT IS NOT LIKE LUNG DAMAGE FROM SMOKING. Formed out is not a medical term. I hope those with addiction get help if needed. I hope those that are in pain with incurable diseases like me get the treatment needed to live. I’m not sure this channel is one for me now.
@hola poka I have two genetic disorders, EDS and CVID. The combo of them seems to have played a part in developing CRPS and RA…a veritable alphabet soup of disorders!
I’ve read that experts say combining a dose of Tylenol with a dose of Advil is sufficient for dental extraction pain. Not in my experience. My molar extraction pain wasn’t relieved much by those meds. The pain was maddening until 10 minutes after taking Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen. It then disappeared. Such wonderful relief, omg.
If only these doctors can go to the same type of pain that we're going through maybe then they wouldn't be so stingy with pain relief meds. But then I understand that the federal government is coming down on the doctors for prescribing them as well nobody wants their license taken away. It's a sucky situation all the way around. I prefer the natural route myself Kratom works wonders.
@@klarity1111 damn that sucks do you live close to the border of another state where you can maybe get a post office box or have her friend in another state that can get it and mail it to you? Yes they do want to drive us to the black market actually what they want to do is they want to make the Kratom so that they dole it out and make money on it. You can't patent nature but if you change a molecule or two you essentially are changing the product thus you can patent it and make money on it which is what these Pharmaceuticals have already done they already have a patent on it it's just a matter of making it illegal for everybody so that they have the rights to dole it out. It's the same thing they done with Aspirin.
Been in pain management for 4 years come January. Opioids 3-4 times a day as needed, plus other meds. Not addicted, use them as a tool to get out of bed, and be able to reduce pain enough to move. It's a problem for people that abuse them. Not everyone is mental
Patients with a “problem” come out as closer to 2%, so 98% will never have a problem with use. He used the wrong term, the long term use is physical dependence (receptor levels go up and so a certain amount is needed to maintain stays who and cover pain), it’s not addiction. He makes it sound like you’re able to easily talk to a doctor and get pain treated. At this point it’s very difficult to get pain medication even for post op or terminal and chronic conditions. I used to have a great quality of life on medication, getting my degrees with my incurable pain conditions treated. Then doctors stopped wanting to prescribe and I had to leave my career and move home because I was in too much physical pain to care for my kids on my own. The drug problem now is driven by illicit fentanyl and drugs bought on the street, not diverted meds. If I had an addiction issue I would have turned to illicit drugs instead of paying high insurance and medical fees to get the very controlled amount of pain medication I can now.
Exactly. We wouldn't spend lots money going to a doctor, getting randomly drug tested (that we also have to pay for), and random pill counts to make sure we are taking them as prescribed. It's a hassle just to be able to be mobile.
You somehow think you're a better person cuz you're not looking fill your prescription out in the ghetto? Don't make the mistake so many do of thinking that just because you're getting it from a doctor you're any less of a slave. Folks start off many times AT the doctor's office ftr. But In order to become addicted, physical dependence always occurs first. It's shouldn't be thought of as two separate sides of the fence. It's not an us-and-them kind of thing.
Great.... only, you gave no options for handling pain once off the medication...the reason for which people were placed on these medications in the first place.
100%. Great point...I had a Dr. who said to me " well we've tried alot of pain meds so now from next week we'll stop the Opiods and start taking Tumeric tablets (his reception sold for $80 a small bottle). Surprisingly, I stopped seeing him shortly after... Many Doctors don't really understand pain - it's often a guessing game for them.. Really dangerous for the patient who wants to be pain free...
@@BuzzByte24 Most pain is NOT psychological. You are not in the medical field I can. Limited knowledge in the area as a layman. I have never taken a single narcotic medication yet non narcotic meds do NOT work just fine. Bad advice.
These pills help pain and if people have chronic pain these meds need to be made available so they can have a life! Each person is different but pain is pain! And where is Bob?

I have 5 autoimmune diseases so I have pain meds but they don't work well when it comes to joint pain and bone pain for me that is anyway so I just do Yoga and exercise and that seems to help weigh more because when the muscles and joints and everything or tight because of lack of movement that's when pain gets worse for me
I am a heroin addict who has five years clean and I appreciate your advice and understanding of the situation. I'm on the subboxson program and I am just about to graduate. I got into a car accident back in 2006 and i broke both my legs, thumb, ribs and lost eye sight in my left eye from fatty embolism. Oxycontin was the drug the gave me. Super addictive is a understatement.
That’s just the thing though, even tho it isn’t illegal or unmanageable, you are still addicted because if someone who uses heroin never ran out of product and never ran out then they would never crave the drug either, you still need it to get through the day and without it you would most likely not be in the best shape after that many years. Not trying to criticize or be rude just some food for thought! Best of luck to you and hope your pain is lessened and your quality of life is good and that’s all that matters
@@Rewiindz Thanks. Update: 6 years of being misdiagnosed with Lyme disease co-infections I'm taking 24 dang pulls a day to boost my immune system and kill the bacteria. I'm about 3.5 months into treatment. He said most patients feel 50% better around the 9th month mark. He said it's burrowed into the bones, teeth, joints, nerves etc. If they had caught the infections from the tick bite around the 4th week mark there's be a chance for a cure. At this point and my symptoms he said most likey I can at least be out in remission but it'll probably take years for full remission. Good news is so far if I take my medicine on time (I have to eat first) then the bone shattering pain is pretty much gone. That alone is amazing. I hope I can make a full recovery of my injured body, and will have a somewhat normal life.
Me too ..i take them for a very bad messed up back , pinched nerves and need a knee replacement surgery .. but i want to avoid surgery . I eat a healthy diet and don't drink . I was just in hospital and can't start the exercises the dr wants me to do yet . But when i'm not so weak believe me i will . I take pain pills very carefully exactly like the dr recommends . If i didn't have them i would have no life . I have so much pain and when it's at its worst i can't eat , sleep , my BP shoots way up ...so if people , like me ,take their pills the way they are meant to be taken and not to get high i see no problem .. btw .. i've never got high ...so for me the pills take away some of the pain so i can have a life .. and not be in bed almost screaming in pain wondering if i'll be able to get up .. i want to be able to spend time with my hubby and be able to enjoy my great grandsons . i know a lot of people who take pain pills to just get high .. that makes me a bit angry because they just don't understand what they are doing to their body . I have a niece who used to take anything she could get her hands on ..I saw what it did to her marriage and her young son . i dont know if she still does because i prefer not to associate with her anymore ... i pray she got help ........
Having gone through this, alotta this is bull. The worse thing is, after 12 yrs on opiods, they dropped me by over HALF in 1 day! They're not any less abuse, just more people getting it off the streets. Its sad. Truly is. I'm glad I was able to handle the drop (WITH EXTREME PAIN AND OVERWHELMING WITHDRAWAL DISCOMFORT &PAIN!) I have spinal stenosis and cervical , sciatica, DDD and other pain. I've went from a comfortable 3-5 on pain scale 1-10 now to contestant 6 or higher and NO LESS ABUSERS then before. Disgusts me
I've had 5 major surgeries (incl 2 spine & 1 broken leg) & opioids have always been part of the post-op routine, but nothing helps my pain & inflammation like cannabis edibles + plain old ibuprofen, especially post-op. In fact, if I had access to cannabis edibles like I do opioids, I wouldn't need opioids at all after surgery. There's something seriously wrong with this system.
I like Kratom for my pain. I tried to smoke a little but it made me itch and it made me paranoid as hell LOL it's not the same as when I was a teenager the Cannabis has definitely changed over the years.
Addiction and dependence are different conditions. The majority of patients in pain who are prescribed opioids do not manifest the compulsive behavior of addiction but do physiologically experience habituation and tolerance. Bob and Brad’s discussion is an excellent one for physical therapy patients. Modalities for pain relief might be great topics for subscribers: acupuncture, massage, ayurvedic, herbology and other techniques might be of benefit in lowering opioid use after tissue injury.
2 1/2 yrs after a fall. Now it’s suck it up and have an aspirin. I know it’s very addicting to take pain away and sleep. The mental side of living with pain is possible be what breaks me
My experience with Oxycodone is that it really does take most of the pain away. It is Not a matter of: "the pain is still there but I don't care about it." I don't know why they keep teaching this.

There is something wrong with so many people in pain and nothing can be done about it. I cannot actually grasp anyone liking to have to take any medication. My gluteos Maximus hurts, but pain does not go down my leg not at all. Since everyone wants to stop people from getting pain relief, I think traiteurs, shamans/shamaness, native American medicine men etc needs to be advertised more, those people will end the pain. And the medical profession and congress can stop hollering. Decades ago, my cousin about 7 or 8 had a bad sunstroke. My aunt kept taking him to a doctor for a month, he laid on grandmother's carpet never getting up. We heard of a traituer, south Louisiana thing, and in minutes in the car he immediately started feeling good. So medical profession dont want to help anyone, we need to find out where the treaters and healers are so we can go to them
There’s a lot of people on here saying it’s “dependence not addiction,” when that’s not the truth. Along with the physical dependency comes addiction, your receptors become addicted, as much as you don’t want to admit it, you absolutely do become addicted even if by no choice of your own. I went through this for years, when I finally stopped the physical withdrawal was the easiest part. Sure I got sick, it wasn’t easy, but it was far worse fighting the mental part of it, realizing that was addiction, and stopping myself from running out and taking them! Even after 3 years I still want to do it.
I have real chronic pain. I don't chase, so it's not addiction. I was taught that real addiction is both psychological and physical. The psychological dependence is not there for me. I have no cravings, only severe pain that needs to be relieved. I understand that addiction is genetic, so I don't judge addicts.
Ty for explaining what a pain med does as having back pain taking percocet take my pain away bottom line feels alot better than having the pain. Only if doctor's who prescribe it instead of buying off the street at triple price or black market not knowing what is them would make more sense to me?? Need a doctor in TO that will give pain meds that help not just muscle relaxer's . Taking a couple pills less time than working out . I would blame the doctors for all our overdoses since they don't give us the good meds people buy them off the street . If taking something helps my pain so be it beets being in pain.
Morphine and Oxycodone were my life savers during my 3 days of enjoying a kidney stone. They help during the recovery time right after the procedure to remove it as well. Luckily no stint, geesh that would have to be a total nightmare waiting for that to be removed.
I had a stubborn kidney stone that wouldn’t budge and so I know how awful it must have been for you. Unfortunately, I had a stent placed three times and if not for the Percocet I was given, I would’ve jumped off a building. Three weeks of kidney stone fun with a freakin’ stent that had to be removed and replaced. Even with the pain medication, it felt like I was peeing razor blades. When my doctor finally said it was time for the procedure, I forget what it’s called, but they were gonna blast the stone so that it would pass. They got the stone to move during the procedure and captured it in a ‘basket,’ but they still put the third stent in!! Bottom line, I would not be here today if not for the pain meds. I have had one other stone which passed easily the morning after an ER visit, thank God. I pray that I never get another stone and I pray for all who suffer with constant pain. There’s no answer to the dilemma of how to prescribe these meds carefully and the opposite; telling people they are ‘drug seeking.’ 🤷🏼♀️ 😞
@@oceansdaughter9885 Funny story to add...the ER Dr. said they started with morphene to remove the pain and then they leveled it off with Percocet. When the pain was finally gone my wife asked me how I felt, I answered her "am I in the morgue". My stone was lodged just outside the kidney, they blasted it and no stint was needed. After one attempt to pee, I waited for the oxycodone pill I got to kick in before any more attempts to pee. Amazingly, 2 hours later I was heading home. Razors?, for sure, truly pain beyond explanation.
I wonder if part of the crisis is attitude and understanding? When you talk about pain relief, I have always thought "pain relief" = removal of pain, that the opioid would remove pain even as aspirin or Tylenol or other analgesic would remove pain like headache. The most dramatic analgesic effect I felt was the complete removal of horrendous menstrual cramps by ibuprofen. (It was a godsend!) Indeed I found out that indeed, opioids don't make pain go away, but you just don't care AS MUCH. So I think, when people in the hospital demand their next pain medication, the mechanism is possibly misunderstood by both patient and loved one. This is the kind of information that needs to be given as a PSA periodically. There was a point in recovery from a broken ankle where I felt the pain seemed not to be any different with or without the medicine, and it was at that time I decided to stop, especially since I was well into my PT, advancing into maximum recovery including stairs. I don't remember getting a buzz. Maybe I was spared that attraction.
I suffer from terrible migraines . The only thing that ever seemed to give me relief was hydros or oxy. I began realizing I was taking them when my head was not hurting. After speaking with my dr., he informed me I was in the 3% of ppl that get a rush of energy, almost like we can do it all, when taking these drugs. Body just wants more and more .... it’s been 4 years .... I wanna stop so bad 🤦🏽♀️🥴
I just had an laranscopic appendectomy. They offered me Norco which I declined. Unless you are in severe pain, I dont see the point of using em. Though I gotta admit, I was tempted to take em when the phrenic nerve pain kicked in 24 hours after my surgery. That pain hurts!
In 2007 I had disc hernia and at that time my doctor said take these and he told me it wasn´t a problem with them. So he gave me a prescription for 3 years and I had a REALY bad whitdrawal for about 2-2,5 month. It was tramadol I used everyday for 3 years.
I have an SCI so I've been on lots of pain meds through the years. I noticed that my pain was actually worse when on meds, so I embarked on a very long (very long) journey of PT and med reduction. It worked. I have been med-free for over a year now and I am no one special. It can be done.
@@klarity1111 I've found that there are myriad types of pain and that, of course, there's some pain that's so intense that it can't be dealt with without meds. But those are extreme cases. Dealing with severe and constant pain starts in your head.
Do this also for marijuana and alcohol. Both of these can help pain management but can get out of control it would be nice to know some of the facts to use correctly.
For all those who say this is bull well it isn’t. I completely agree that you shouldn’t have to ‘live in pain forever’ but the problem is that in the United States they give you medication for everything. Do you have lower back pain… medication, you don’t feel well oh okay here is some medication and why do doctors this you may ask. Well surprise surprise its all business, they don’t try to make you feel like a druggie. Nobody can make your feel something, you chose to make yourself feel like a druggie. It’s okay to take painkillers but sometimes there are other ways to relieve your pain plus feeling pain is your body telling you that there is something wrong and by only taking painkillers you are just silencing your body and most of the times don’t solve the problem.
You ought to have differentiated between “Dependence”; & “Addiction”. Many people with severe chronic pain for many different illnesses who are NOT “Addicted” ( “ie: I have very painful medical illnesses & I never got a buzz... Guess cause I was in pain!! Also let’s REPEAT that you said 3% have a problem. And why are you talking about Heroin? Yes, Fentanyl NOT Oxycodone with Acet., etc. So the 97% of chronic pain patients are now suffering!!!
Is there anything my daughter can do to help the loss of her dog who died a week ago with heart failure. They did everything together for the last 10 years. 😊
What about spinal Sciatic pain. I’m down to a half a pill a day, and sometimes another half at night. Do you have Apparatuses to help with exercises with my condition. Because obviously I don’t have knee pain
Drs in Canada don't like prescribing opioids, they take one look at me (punk/metal head) and they think Im only there for drugs. I don't even like taking advil or tylenol unless I can't take the pain anymore. I go there looking for help (cuz they are dr's) and they just say stuff like "I can't prescribe you anything." Im like "can you give my a damn referral to a physiotherapist?" 😂👍
Is the brain damage anything like the brain damage from Aspertaine. You can actually see the brain damage in the persons' eyes. The color of the Iris becomes covered with a cloudy white film and there are distinct white jagged lines over the color of their eyes. Why is no one talking about Aspertaine addiction? It seems to be the new heroine.
What about marijuana use (recreational or medicinal)? Do you think that could be a non-addictive way for people to help manage pain when physical activity isn't possible? This was really a great video.
Your biased opioid bit is just hopping on the profiteering bandwagon. Hospice patients deserve pain management. Choosing this mildly informed stance adds to the hysteria surrounding a demonized drug. - ty, an insulin addict
30-80 dollars per pill? For what exactly? It's 6 bucks a piece for a 10 Mg. Percocet or whatever where I live. Not cheap, but a far cry from 30-80 dollars.
Up until he said it cause brain damage, then I knew he full of shit. I was on heavy amount of meds that worked . I had a someone functional life. I was cut off went cold turkey , I’m in so much pain now. I could not pass in test that required any amount of time to take. But I’m 2012 I toke the Ham radio test and passed the extra with in two months. While on that large amount!
You gotta fight tooth and nail to get a script.. only to realize the generics are total bs and false advertised (look up Rhodes Percocet 10 review) all drugs should be legal and 100% regulated just the same way alcohol is.
Hydromophone also known as Dilaudid as well is one of the worst, Dilaudid is often called heroin on the streets I’ve heard that as well now I don’t know how true that is but that is scary and it is in my opinion the most addictive pain med , usual used for surgery , cancer but now chronic pain, obviously up to the doctors discretion that orders it but from what I heard that one is s big problem as well. And it makes you MEAN . Pain meds Will and can alter your personality , it can also change your appearance as well when people abuse it. The frighting thing about these meds is that you don’t have to abuse it to get addicted because when I had my gallbladder removed I was given IV Dilaudid , I had no idea what pain meds were and now I’m addicted, now mine you I would never buy anything from the streets but I use to get it from my doctor , now I get percocets because of my condition is called lymphedema which I go to the lymphedema clinic as well but my legs are so bad you can tell that I hurt and it sucks I have a weight problem as well and I never thought that I would be one of those people addicted and it’s scary… thank you for this video, I wanted to know why, why is it so addictive, why can’t I stop, am I really in pain in my legs or here’s a question, can pain medicine create pain if your addicted?

This is bull. When you're in pain you need something you shouldn't have to bag your doctor after 3 days after 6 days after 9 days. I had back surgery they did fusion and I couldn't walk for 5 months. I was screaming every time I moved. And yet when I said I was in pain they asked couldn't I go off of the pain medicine. I told them the pain medicine didn't help. Nothing helps. You shouldn't have to feel like a druggie at the age of 69 and in pain. This is a terrible system, you do not feel a buzz you do not even hardly feel any relief. The people that are in pain can't get the medicine now that they need. I had total shoulder replacement surgery 2 months ago. I sit here everyday with ice and heat, and no pain meds. There really is something wrong with our system.
Look into kratom. I started taking that back around 2014-2015. Best thing that God ever gave me. I have back injury problems just like Brad I have stenosis and spondylodesis as well as sciatic pain arthritis in my hips and my left knee tendonitis in my arms. Let's just say that aging has not been very graceful with me. And Kratom just takes the pain away it's the best anti-inflammatory I have ever had. Works like an opioid without the addiction and without the withdrawal. And the best part is is that it's natural.
I had similar situation. Couldn’t walk for eight months, turned out dr put metal piece in my nerve. Doctor messed up, he had to go in and take out metal. Helped immediately. That’s just one of my issues. My injuries were extensive. I’ve had six surgeries. I’m doing much better now. I had six stem cell injections. Very costly but it is healing me slowly. Good luck.

I did not have an addictive personality, but now I'm chemically dependent. What's the difference!
The kratom made me vomit every time I took it it did stop my pain though. I wasn’t taking but just a tiny amount because any type of pain medication does make me nauseous but really that’s the only complaint I have with it. It’s kinda hard to dose it just right.

I’ve been on and off opioids for twenty-three years. For the last six years I’ve been on Brutrans pain patch (opioids pain patch, not as strong as fentanyl). My back pain was chronic for years. The more I took the opioids the more I needed. I started out with pills and they made me up and down all day long. Pain patches helped regulate the ups and downs but I also had to increase dosage. Opioids surround nerve endings and make them more sensitive. It takes time to go off them. Very slowly, you decrease dosage because the medication is all over body cells including your brain. You have emotional and body detoxing. Eventually you will get back feelings in your body and in your head. Your taste buds return, your mental fog goes away. Very very important to go slowly. I didn’t like taking them but I couldn’t handle the chronic severe back pain. I’ve had six stem cell injections over two years now and I am currently going down on the dosage. No pain but the detoxing is hard.
A true voice of wisdom stemming from experience. Appreciate your comment.
My doc stopped mine cold turkey I tried to take my own life150 oxy and 600 pregablin.9 days laying in my own feces I couldn't walk spinal surgery I bought 500 vallium and wanted out took the lot slept 5 days taking to hospital 3 times nearly died fucking evil drug
NO PAIN? THEN WHY WOULD YOU NEED
@@kimsmith7212 I believe most people if given informed consent would chose the pain over the months of withdrawal from pain meds ect.Including me id have had spinal surgery wide awake.
This doesn’t cover the fact that some people need to take them long term, because they HAVE long term conditions. There are no other options for chronic pain sufferers. They’re not drug addicts looking for heroin, or a high, they’re looking for pain RELIEF.

@@deborahszafraniec4829 amen sister!
It's people like this guy who is making it a real hassle for people like me who has had a total knee replacement . All the oxycodone does is take most of the pain and make me very tired. I couldn't do all the needed knee stretchs without a good pain reliever. Your making people think their a druggie by using what is so important for full recovery. I want it until I need and not be made to feel bad for doing so !
Yes. I had a trimalleoler ankle break this past Feb 26. Had surgery with a plate and 11 screws. They had me taking so much over the counter garbage that I wound up in the hospital with chest pains. 18 k bill later , lotsa tests ,the nurse said thats what it could have been. I just wish they would given what I needed. I still have really shitty days all these months later. Can't move 4 of my toes and no one knows why. I never got "high" on anything they prescribed so it isn't about that for me. Always had a high tolerance for anything ever prescribed over the last 40 years. I still don't understand how people are getting high on codeine. Did nothing for me for my migraines.
No heroin left here in philly btw. Its a Fentanyl. Go to my Instagram and look at my stories. You can see them mixing the Fentanyl with water and shoot it right up. Zero heroine. I watch them smoke crack, meth, and shoot Fentanyl.
Yup. I have a chronic pain condition that leads to frequent joint injuries and pain from those and the subsequent surgeries. There’s no “cure” for me and all the PT in the world is like gingers in the holes of a damn, keeping parts of me together. Prescription pain medication allows me a semblance of life and the ability to do some needed PT and work. I’m a disabled mom of 2 who is just trying to keep up with my kids and not fall apart. Before the demonization if opioids I was able to get them more easily and get through more physical activity, get my degrees, etc. Once they became suspicious of every patient and doctor, the amount prescribed needed for me to go about life dropped away and now I’ve lost my career and had to move back with family. Everyone, please think before putting opinions out there. I’m a neuroscientist and understand addiction risk, but I also know statistics, and patients in pain were never the problem and are obviously not now.
Exactly! CDC lied the opiate epidemic is from illicit fentanyl and heroin NOT pain meds prescribed to the patient. This is an Agenda pushed by big Pharma! This is a push for Suboxone and Buprenorphine which are addiction meds. They are trying to push 10s of millions of Americans with chronic and intractable pain into using these addiction meds!
Millions of cancer patients, intractable pain patients and veterans have been treated like addicts and forceably taken off of their medications. Many have killed themselves due to the horrors of untreated pain. This #GreatOpioidLie is harming millions! Prescription pains have plummeted but ODs from heroin and illicit fentanyl have risen. This is not a drug war but a war against people..
@JRoc it's working. This has killed millions. They really are evil...😈
It does not cause brain damage. It changes receptor levels and those with active physical addiction have psych changes. IT IS NOT LIKE LUNG DAMAGE FROM SMOKING.
Formed out is not a medical term.
I hope those with addiction get help if needed.
I hope those that are in pain with incurable diseases like me get the treatment needed to live. I’m not sure this channel is one for me now.
@hola poka
I have two genetic disorders, EDS and CVID. The combo of them seems to have played a part in developing CRPS and RA…a veritable alphabet soup of disorders!
I’m addicted to not being in pain. I can exercise, clean the house and have a productive life. Without them I’d be lying in bed crying in pain 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve read that experts say combining a dose of Tylenol with a dose of Advil is sufficient for dental extraction pain. Not in my experience. My molar extraction pain wasn’t relieved much by those meds. The pain was maddening until 10 minutes after taking Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen. It then disappeared. Such wonderful relief, omg.
Its a poor man's vicodin but it seems to work well for a lot of people.
Surgeon only gave me 5 50mg tramadols last time I got 30 5mg hydrocodone
If only these doctors can go to the same type of pain that we're going through maybe then they wouldn't be so stingy with pain relief meds. But then I understand that the federal government is coming down on the doctors for prescribing them as well nobody wants their license taken away. It's a sucky situation all the way around. I prefer the natural route myself Kratom works wonders.
@@KCCAT5 They made Kratom illegal in my state. I think they want to drive everyone to the Black Market.
@@klarity1111 damn that sucks do you live close to the border of another state where you can maybe get a post office box or have her friend in another state that can get it and mail it to you? Yes they do want to drive us to the black market actually what they want to do is they want to make the Kratom so that they dole it out and make money on it. You can't patent nature but if you change a molecule or two you essentially are changing the product thus you can patent it and make money on it which is what these Pharmaceuticals have already done they already have a patent on it it's just a matter of making it illegal for everybody so that they have the rights to dole it out. It's the same thing they done with Aspirin.
Been in pain management for 4 years come January. Opioids 3-4 times a day as needed, plus other meds. Not addicted, use them as a tool to get out of bed, and be able to reduce pain enough to move. It's a problem for people that abuse them. Not everyone is mental
Absolutely some people unfortunately need them to manage!!
Patients with a “problem” come out as closer to 2%, so 98% will never have a problem with use. He used the wrong term, the long term use is physical dependence (receptor levels go up and so a certain amount is needed to maintain stays who and cover pain), it’s not addiction.
He makes it sound like you’re able to easily talk to a doctor and get pain treated. At this point it’s very difficult to get pain medication even for post op or terminal and chronic conditions. I used to have a great quality of life on medication, getting my degrees with my incurable pain conditions treated. Then doctors stopped wanting to prescribe and I had to leave my career and move home because I was in too much physical pain to care for my kids on my own. The drug problem now is driven by illicit fentanyl and drugs bought on the street, not diverted meds. If I had an addiction issue I would have turned to illicit drugs instead of paying high insurance and medical fees to get the very controlled amount of pain medication I can now.
Exactly. We wouldn't spend lots money going to a doctor, getting randomly drug tested (that we also have to pay for), and random pill counts to make sure we are taking them as prescribed. It's a hassle just to be able to be mobile.
heh Tiffany, are you doing okay? Your story sounds so similar to myself...Patient care is not at the heart of these Opiod reducing decisions...
You somehow think you're a better person cuz you're not looking fill your prescription out in the ghetto? Don't make the mistake so many do of thinking that just because you're getting it from a doctor you're any less of a slave. Folks start off many times AT the doctor's office ftr. But In order to become addicted, physical dependence always occurs first. It's shouldn't be thought of as two separate sides of the fence. It's not an us-and-them kind of thing.
Great.... only, you gave no options for handling pain once off the medication...the reason for which people were placed on these medications in the first place.
100%. Great point...I had a Dr. who said to me " well we've tried alot of pain meds so now from next week we'll stop the Opiods and start taking Tumeric tablets (his reception sold for $80 a small bottle).
Surprisingly, I stopped seeing him shortly after...
Many Doctors don't really understand pain - it's often a guessing game for them..
Really dangerous for the patient who wants to be pain free...
Most pain is psychological.. once off the pain meds you’ll realize non narcotic medication works just fine.
@@BuzzByte24 Most pain is NOT psychological. You are not in the medical field I can. Limited knowledge in the area as a layman. I have never taken a single narcotic medication yet non narcotic meds do NOT work just fine. Bad advice.
These pills help pain and if people have chronic pain these meds need to be made available so they can have a life! Each person is different but pain is pain! And where is Bob?
Where Bob is is admittedly none of our business. That said, you have two million subscribers. Would it be possible to spend 15 seconds at the beginning of your videos to at least make some reference. Respectfully, Kevin

How long has he been gone?
I have 5 autoimmune diseases so I have pain meds but they don't work well when it comes to joint pain and bone pain for me that is anyway so I just do Yoga and exercise and that seems to help weigh more because when the muscles and joints and everything or tight because of lack of movement that's when pain gets worse for me
Excellent program
.
I am a heroin addict who has five years clean and I appreciate your advice and understanding of the situation. I'm on the subboxson program and I am just about to graduate. I got into a car accident back in 2006 and i broke both my legs, thumb, ribs and lost eye sight in my left eye from fatty embolism. Oxycontin was the drug the gave me. Super addictive is a understatement.
Does Suboxone relieve pain for you? I'm thinking of trying it.
@@sarak6860 depends on the person it's stronger than morphine just decent hit the receptors like Oxy
Very well explained
I suffer from ankylosing spondylitis and it's very difficult to get help.
If you've been on them for a while, and aren't addicted, it's a physical dependence. Not addiction! We don't "crave" them like those addicted.
That’s just the thing though, even tho it isn’t illegal or unmanageable, you are still addicted because if someone who uses heroin never ran out of product and never ran out then they would never crave the drug either, you still need it to get through the day and without it you would most likely not be in the best shape after that many years. Not trying to criticize or be rude just some food for thought! Best of luck to you and hope your pain is lessened and your quality of life is good and that’s all that matters
@@Rewiindz Thanks. Update: 6 years of being misdiagnosed with Lyme disease co-infections I'm taking 24 dang pulls a day to boost my immune system and kill the bacteria. I'm about 3.5 months into treatment. He said most patients feel 50% better around the 9th month mark. He said it's burrowed into the bones, teeth, joints, nerves etc. If they had caught the infections from the tick bite around the 4th week mark there's be a chance for a cure. At this point and my symptoms he said most likey I can at least be out in remission but it'll probably take years for full remission. Good news is so far if I take my medicine on time (I have to eat first) then the bone shattering pain is pretty much gone. That alone is amazing. I hope I can make a full recovery of my injured body, and will have a somewhat normal life.
@@breesechick Dang that is just bad luck! Best of luck to you in your recovery! As long as you keep trying it can only get better

Bob and brad have been helping me with my
Diagnosis
I have taken opioid many times in my lifetime and never been addicted to them.
Me too ..i take them for a very bad messed up back , pinched nerves and need a knee replacement surgery .. but i want to avoid surgery . I eat a healthy diet and don't drink . I was just in hospital and can't start the exercises the dr wants me to do yet . But when i'm not so weak believe me i will . I take pain pills very carefully exactly like the dr recommends . If i didn't have them i would have no life . I have so much pain and when it's at its worst i can't eat , sleep , my BP shoots way up ...so if people , like me ,take their pills the way they are meant to be taken and not to get high i see no problem .. btw .. i've never got high ...so for me the pills take away some of the pain so i can have a life .. and not be in bed almost screaming in pain wondering if i'll be able to get up .. i want to be able to spend time with my hubby and be able to enjoy my great grandsons . i know a lot of people who take pain pills to just get high .. that makes me a bit angry because they just don't understand what they are doing to their body . I have a niece who used to take anything she could get her hands on ..I saw what it did to her marriage and her young son . i dont know if she still does because i prefer not to associate with her anymore ... i pray she got help ........
@@suelovescats Sounds like my story, five herniated disc, bicep tendon tear, torn ACL, just to named a few.
Having gone through this, alotta this is bull. The worse thing is, after 12 yrs on opiods, they dropped me by over HALF in 1 day! They're not any less abuse, just more people getting it off the streets. Its sad. Truly is. I'm glad I was able to handle the drop (WITH EXTREME PAIN AND OVERWHELMING WITHDRAWAL DISCOMFORT &PAIN!) I have spinal stenosis and cervical , sciatica, DDD and other pain. I've went from a comfortable 3-5 on pain scale 1-10 now to contestant 6 or higher and NO LESS ABUSERS then before. Disgusts me
How cruel. They should at least have let you taper.
I've had 5 major surgeries (incl 2 spine & 1 broken leg) & opioids have always been part of the post-op routine, but nothing helps my pain & inflammation like cannabis edibles + plain old ibuprofen, especially post-op. In fact, if I had access to cannabis edibles like I do opioids, I wouldn't need opioids at all after surgery. There's something seriously wrong with this system.
Ibuprofen is wonderful. I wish edibles worked for me but they just make me feel ill.
I like Kratom for my pain. I tried to smoke a little but it made me itch and it made me paranoid as hell LOL it's not the same as when I was a teenager the Cannabis has definitely changed over the years.
@@KCCAT5 I can really notice the difference between the cannabis of 20 years ago and today. I think it's all gmo now.
What type of cannabis edibles help with severe post op pain?

Its “Bob and Brad” so kindly explain Bobs absence!
i’m 19 and i have a full fledged addiction to percocets, i don’t know what to do. addition is so hard.
Addiction and dependence are different conditions. The majority of patients in pain who are prescribed opioids do not manifest the compulsive behavior of addiction but do physiologically experience habituation and tolerance. Bob and Brad’s discussion is an excellent one for physical therapy patients. Modalities for pain relief might be great topics for subscribers: acupuncture, massage, ayurvedic, herbology and other techniques might be of benefit in lowering opioid use after tissue injury.
2 1/2 yrs after a fall. Now it’s suck it up and have an aspirin. I know it’s very addicting to take pain away and sleep. The mental side of living with pain is possible be what breaks me
My experience with Oxycodone is that it really does take most of the pain away. It is Not a matter of: "the pain is still there but I don't care about it." I don't know why they keep teaching this.
back pain is way better than an addiction

There is something wrong with so many people in pain and nothing can be done about it. I cannot actually grasp anyone liking to have to take any medication. My gluteos Maximus hurts, but pain does not go down my leg not at all. Since everyone wants to stop people from getting pain relief, I think traiteurs, shamans/shamaness, native American medicine men etc needs to be advertised more, those people will end the pain. And the medical profession and congress can stop hollering. Decades ago, my cousin about 7 or 8 had a bad sunstroke. My aunt kept taking him to a doctor for a month, he laid on grandmother's carpet never getting up. We heard of a traituer, south Louisiana thing, and in minutes in the car he immediately started feeling good. So medical profession dont want to help anyone, we need to find out where the treaters and healers are so we can go to them
A VERY important topic. Good job.
There’s a lot of people on here saying it’s “dependence not addiction,” when that’s not the truth. Along with the physical dependency comes addiction, your receptors become addicted, as much as you don’t want to admit it, you absolutely do become addicted even if by no choice of your own. I went through this for years, when I finally stopped the physical withdrawal was the easiest part. Sure I got sick, it wasn’t easy, but it was far worse fighting the mental part of it, realizing that was addiction, and stopping myself from running out and taking them! Even after 3 years I still want to do it.
I have real chronic pain. I don't chase, so it's not addiction. I was taught that real addiction is both psychological and physical. The psychological dependence is not there for me. I have no cravings, only severe pain that needs to be relieved. I understand that addiction is genetic, so I don't judge addicts.
Where is bob
yeah ... where's Bob ?
Yeah, where’s bob
Ty for explaining what a pain med does as having back pain taking percocet take my pain away bottom line feels alot better than having the pain. Only if doctor's who prescribe it instead of buying off the street at triple price or black market not knowing what is them would make more sense to me?? Need a doctor in TO that will give pain meds that help not just muscle relaxer's . Taking a couple pills less time than working out . I would blame the doctors for all our overdoses since they don't give us the good meds people buy them off the street . If taking something helps my pain so be it beets being in pain.
I've been on buprenorphine (suboxone) for 11years after back surgery- and acdf level 3 spinal fusion... I'm probably near brain dead by now!! Dangg!!!
It’s bullshit your mind gets better over time!!
Fantastically effective video. thank you for this plane speaking information.
Morphine and Oxycodone were my life savers during my 3 days of enjoying a kidney stone. They help during the recovery time right after the procedure to remove it as well. Luckily no stint, geesh that would have to be a total nightmare waiting for that to be removed.
I had a stubborn kidney stone that wouldn’t budge and so I know how awful it must have been for you. Unfortunately, I had a stent placed three times and if not for the Percocet I was given, I would’ve jumped off a building. Three weeks of kidney stone fun with a freakin’ stent that had to be removed and replaced. Even with the pain medication, it felt like I was peeing razor blades. When my doctor finally said it was time for the procedure, I forget what it’s called, but they were gonna blast the stone so that it would pass. They got the stone to move during the procedure and captured it in a ‘basket,’ but they still put the third stent in!! Bottom line, I would not be here today if not for the pain meds. I have had one other stone which passed easily the morning after an ER visit, thank God. I pray that I never get another stone and I pray for all who suffer with constant pain. There’s no answer to the dilemma of how to prescribe these meds carefully and the opposite; telling people they are ‘drug seeking.’ 🤷🏼♀️ 😞
@@oceansdaughter9885 Funny story to add...the ER Dr. said they started with morphene to remove the pain and then they leveled it off with Percocet. When the pain was finally gone my wife asked me how I felt, I answered her "am I in the morgue". My stone was lodged just outside the kidney, they blasted it and no stint was needed. After one attempt to pee, I waited for the oxycodone pill I got to kick in before any more attempts to pee. Amazingly, 2 hours later I was heading home. Razors?, for sure, truly pain beyond explanation.
Very good information ,makes you very aware thanks.
Learned a little bit more about how addiction works
I wonder if part of the crisis is attitude and understanding? When you talk about pain relief, I have always thought "pain relief" = removal of pain, that the opioid would remove pain even as aspirin or Tylenol or other analgesic would remove pain like headache.
The most dramatic analgesic effect I felt was the complete removal of horrendous menstrual cramps by ibuprofen. (It was a godsend!)
Indeed I found out that indeed, opioids don't make pain go away, but you just don't care AS MUCH.
So I think, when people in the hospital demand their next pain medication, the mechanism is possibly misunderstood by both patient and loved one.
This is the kind of information that needs to be given as a PSA periodically.
There was a point in recovery from a broken ankle where I felt the pain seemed not to be any different with or without the medicine, and it was at that time I decided to stop, especially since I was well into my PT, advancing into maximum recovery including stairs.
I don't remember getting a buzz. Maybe I was spared that attraction.
I suffer from terrible migraines . The only thing that ever seemed to give me relief was hydros or oxy. I began realizing I was taking them when my head was not hurting. After speaking with my dr., he informed me I was in the 3% of ppl that get a rush of energy, almost like we can do it all, when taking these drugs. Body just wants more and more .... it’s been 4 years .... I wanna stop so bad 🤦🏽♀️🥴
Great episode
Where is Bob? Hope he is well.
LOVING ALL THESE TIPS!! Definitely have to implement them into my own routine! ❤
When you have Pain it doesnt give you a thrill it takes the pain away so you feel normal
You can thank Purdue pharma and The DEA
I got 3 days of it (12 tables). My idea was to use just one a day.. I hope 12 days of once a day is ok.
Bob is back to filming this week. These videos without him were prerecorded.
Why do docs start people on Oxy when something like Tramadol would
Work??
I just had an laranscopic appendectomy. They offered me Norco which I declined. Unless you are in severe pain, I dont see the point of using em. Though I gotta admit, I was tempted to take em when the phrenic nerve pain kicked in 24 hours after my surgery. That pain hurts!
In 2007 I had disc hernia and at that time my doctor said take these and he told me it wasn´t a problem with them. So he gave me a prescription for 3 years and I had a REALY bad whitdrawal for about 2-2,5 month. It was tramadol I used everyday for 3 years.
I have an SCI so I've been on lots of pain meds through the years. I noticed that my pain was actually worse when on meds, so I embarked on a very long (very long) journey of PT and med reduction. It worked. I have been med-free for over a year now and I am no one special. It can be done.
Everyone is different. Some people commit suicide without pain meds.
@@klarity1111
I've found that there are myriad types of pain and that, of course, there's some pain that's so intense that it can't be dealt with without meds. But those are extreme cases. Dealing with severe and constant pain starts in your head.
I lost a friend to fentanyl last week
Do this also for marijuana and alcohol. Both of these can help pain management but can get out of control it would be nice to know some of the facts to use correctly.
So 3% ruined it fo the 97% that actually need them🙆😲😅
For all those who say this is bull well it isn’t. I completely agree that you shouldn’t have to ‘live in pain forever’ but the problem is that in the United States they give you medication for everything. Do you have lower back pain… medication, you don’t feel well oh okay here is some medication and why do doctors this you may ask. Well surprise surprise its all business, they don’t try to make you feel like a druggie. Nobody can make your feel something, you chose to make yourself feel like a druggie. It’s okay to take painkillers but sometimes there are other ways to relieve your pain plus feeling pain is your body telling you that there is something wrong and by only taking painkillers you are just silencing your body and most of the times don’t solve the problem.
You ought to have differentiated between “Dependence”; & “Addiction”.
Many people with severe chronic pain for many different illnesses who are NOT
“Addicted” ( “ie: I have very painful medical illnesses & I never got a buzz... Guess cause I was in pain!!
Also let’s REPEAT that you said 3% have a problem. And why are you talking about Heroin? Yes, Fentanyl NOT Oxycodone with Acet., etc.
So the 97% of chronic pain patients are now suffering!!!
Happy 🎁 belated Birthday 🎈 Brad! 🥳
You weren't clear on, does a person get over brain damage caused by misuse?
Is there anything my daughter can do to help the loss of her dog who died a week ago with heart failure. They did everything together for the last 10 years. 😊
What about spinal Sciatic pain. I’m down to a half a pill a day, and sometimes another half at night. Do you have Apparatuses to help with exercises with my condition. Because obviously I don’t have knee pain
Chris was good 👍🏿
Drs in Canada don't like prescribing opioids, they take one look at me (punk/metal head) and they think Im only there for drugs. I don't even like taking advil or tylenol unless I can't take the pain anymore. I go there looking for help (cuz they are dr's) and they just say stuff like "I can't prescribe you anything." Im like "can you give my a damn referral to a physiotherapist?" 😂👍
Is the brain damage anything like the brain damage from Aspertaine. You can actually see the brain damage in the persons' eyes. The color of the Iris becomes covered with a cloudy white film and there are distinct white jagged lines over the color of their eyes.
Why is no one talking about Aspertaine addiction?
It seems to be the new heroine.
Hopefully this pain eases up on me because I wouldn’t take opioid after this informative video. Seems like it is a trap in my own opinion of course.
What about marijuana use (recreational or medicinal)? Do you think that could be a non-addictive way for people to help manage pain when physical activity isn't possible? This was really a great video.
Opioids are terrifying to me. I've been in pain a long time now and I avoid them like the plague.
Smart! I wish I'd never started.
I was afraid of them at first. It turns out that I do not have the genetic tendency for addiction.
Where is Bob?
Wow!! Chris was really good. Let’s see more of him!!
My ? Is how u keep them down can get to dentist at this time I done as I was directed even half the dose. Gut won't keep oxycodon
You forgot laudanum.
Your biased opioid bit is just hopping on the profiteering bandwagon. Hospice patients deserve pain management. Choosing this mildly informed stance adds to the hysteria surrounding a demonized drug. - ty, an insulin addict
30-80 dollars per pill? For what exactly? It's 6 bucks a piece for a 10 Mg. Percocet or whatever where I live. Not cheap, but a far cry from 30-80 dollars.

Up until he said it cause brain damage, then I knew he full of shit. I was on heavy amount of meds that worked . I had a someone functional life.

But I’m 2012 I toke the Ham radio test and passed the extra with in two months. While on that large amount!
Thanks for sharing!
I just posted my back injury I’m 19 years old check it out
Opioids give you a party favor as they do their job.
You gotta fight tooth and nail to get a script.. only to realize the generics are total bs and false advertised (look up Rhodes Percocet 10 review) all drugs should be legal and 100% regulated just the same way alcohol is.
Best to never use these, because as well as recovering from injury or surgery, you will also need to recover from drug addiction.

Hydromophone also known as Dilaudid as well is one of the worst, Dilaudid is often called heroin on the streets I’ve heard that as well now I don’t know how true that is but that is scary and it is in my opinion the most addictive pain med , usual used for surgery , cancer but now chronic pain, obviously up to the doctors discretion that orders it but from what I heard that one is s big problem as well. And it makes you MEAN . Pain meds Will and can alter your personality , it can also change your appearance as well when people abuse it. The frighting thing about these meds is that you don’t have to abuse it to get addicted because when I had my gallbladder removed I was given IV Dilaudid , I had no idea what pain meds were and now I’m addicted, now mine you I would never buy anything from the streets but I use to get it from my doctor , now I get percocets because of my condition is called lymphedema which I go to the lymphedema clinic as well but my legs are so bad you can tell that I hurt and it sucks I have a weight problem as well and I never thought that I would be one of those people addicted and it’s scary… thank you for this video, I wanted to know why, why is it so addictive, why can’t I stop, am I really in pain in my legs or here’s a question, can pain medicine create pain if your addicted?
