I had an abscessed tooth last week, and I'm furious about the over-correction on pain meds for acute pain. That shit hurt like a mutha, and I couldn't get a pain pill! I can't tell you how many NSAIDs I took, lol. Poor liver. My doctor is scared to prescribe. Gov't is harsh on them. Not 1 doc or pharma criminal was arrested. Who suffers because of criminals? The people! You can't trust the street that it won't be cut w/fentanyl or some other crap, but people are. Teeth should be exempted.

O dear -- how horrible.

If doctors are afraid to prescribe the normal pain meds,
and if they all want us on statins, BP meds, thyroid & other drugs --

what good are most of them for?

[I know -- broken bones & injuries?]

@CarolEmmarie It's awful. My neighbor broke her arm and couldn't get a couple. People are not happy about it. Old people are buying it black market, lol. But I'm talking about for acute pain, like a tooth or broken bones. There are therapies that really work for people in chronic pain.

When I have tooth pain like that, I go to the streets for meds anymore... Tramadol is what they'll prescribe. Its ability to handle tooth pain, is fucking ZERO. Hospitals and doctors are the fucking enemy anymore.

@Java yea the whole thing is backwards now! Sorry you had to suffer like that.
