A member asked:

Is it true that narcotic pain meds can shorten your life span if you take them for a good number of years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anecdotal : People take narcotics due to cancer or chronic pain. Primary disease is usually the reason for shorter life span, unless narcotics are abused.
