Chronic pain: As you may (or may not) know, organized medicine is in midst of turning 180o on its stance on opioids for chronic pain. While we don't want to see our patients suffering, there are some tremendous risks associated w/narcotics such as addiction, overdose & death. See your Family Doc who can start working on non-narcotic options & refer you to Rheumatologist, Orthopedist & Pain Medicine specialist.
