Scruffy has a bad right shoulder from years of baseball.
It is managed perfectly with going to the gym 4 days a week
For the record, I have no pain prescriptions, nor do I need any.
I just know that some pain is real and unending. That pain cannot be fixed, regardless of the level of hubris that some physicians possess. That pain can only be controlled.
Hopefully medicine will get smart enough to weed out the addicts so that those who really need the help can get what they need without persecution.

they are doing just that through mechanisms mentioned above. This in and of itself is bad for PM clinics. A PCP should be the one prescribing these drugs, period. The reason they are so paranoid to do so now is because of the PM clinics, and the lack of checks and balances. They don't want to prescribe to an addict, that addict die, and they are the ones sued for medication malpractice by the family. Hard to blame them. With the new database, a PCP has access to more info on a patient's drug history, and in theory should be able to more confidently prescribe.

I suspect a lot of these judgers in this thread have never seen a true chronic pain sufferer. I have no doubt that without the help of pain specialists and chiropractors that my cousin might've died of his pain by now
