What’s fascinating in our society is that street drugs are ok. But people who have sever chronic pain are denied drugs for relief or their pain. Even if it’s monitored by a pain management doctor. Even if that severe pain relief is only offered like 5 times a week. Instead severe chronic pain is offered to push through it, meditation, redo your values, goals. When there is a ready solution that can be given to them just as easily as is given to the drug addict on the street. It’s mind boggling. Totally mind boggling. Suicide is a better choice compared to chronic severe pain of 7-9/10 on a daily or every other day basis. Not an accidental overdose. A choice not to live with severe chronic pain.
You're absolutely right. I've been suffering for well over a year and I feel like a criminal whenever I ask for a refill from both doctors and pharm
Its actually become a disease among doctors, nurses, and disabilities judges who hear about chronic pain to dismiss it because of their own failure to grasp the reality people face. At what point do they NOT immediately jump to some nonsense holistic approach and _STOP_ recommending well known fraudulent treatments like breathing exercises or yoga and just do what they can? They act like they are the ones who should feel hopeless. Try living with it....
My whole life. I didn't realise my severe depression and avoidance personality were due to a lifetime of exhaustion from chronic pain. My circle doesn't understand. I have developed a 15 year cannibas addiction. I don't want to live like this anymore.
yep Its complete Govt over reach. Why not test for the addiction DNA before punishing everyone. I use as needed. 30 last me 60 days. yet I get treated like an addict if I ask for a refill. I have been to Pain Dr for shots and PT, I can't sleep in pain and Ibuprophen Tylonol aspirin combo rips my stomach. Drs are terrified to write a Tramadol script, even though you have MRI of a torn rotator cuff, and Spinal Stenosis.
@@zanzah_ go to a family doctor / general physician. They can prescribe opioids.. I wish I could use cannabis, but to keep my 3 percocets a day I have to get randomly urine tested by the DEA 🤦♂️

Is cannabis really that bad if you’re in severe pain all the time? I found it to help, but I could see how not being able to take a break gets depressing. I’m currently on pain meds and on contract to not use cannabis.
Its all in your mind Its all in your mind
I believe you left out that most of the people who died from prescription opioids, the prescriptions weren't theirs. Please correct me if im wrong
Any suggestion for a patient who is extremely drowsy due to pain killer in pneuropathy pain
There are people who live in pain 27/4 365 over and over. They won't prescribe us pain meds because they include us with the addicts.
I get depressed due to pain, i want to live but cant. You doctors have no idea still!!!!!
I really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Bloody introduction is 2 mins plus
Severe misunderstanding of chronic pain on thier part. I have lived with chronic pain for 45 yrs. They are full of crap!
Smh on altitudes beliefs
Most doctors will not even take a chronic patient
This lady is incorrect there are conditions that have no clue
Okay, I can tell this is gonna just infuriate me from the comments alone. I hear you all. They don’t get us. I can’t bear to watch another video that blames me or people who misuse OUR needed pain meds for opioid abuse.
its easy to talk out of your ass when you're not suffering
Absolutely!!! If any of these “specialists” experienced the level of chronic pain that we do, they would take a prescription pain medication to help with relief. It’s easy to say “focus on something else” when they aren’t feeling it themselves. 😡
For Godsake get to the bloody point
This is disgusting and honestly extremely bad science.
It's actually great breakthrough and promoting understanding!
@@eriamhsl3841you obviously don’t suffer with long-term chronic pain. I’m supposed to just grieve the loss of my entire life? Oh please spare me.
I agree. This is infuriating. The entire video was obviously from the perspective of a person who doesn’t understand or experience chronic pain due to real physical conditions.
