Sometimes it does what they say it does. Sometimes, it seems like I am taking a placebo. Even hydrocodone APAP is hit or miss. Of course, because I am a cannabis user, they won't give me anything for pain regardless of whether I am incapacitated or not. So, I am 'retired' now because I cannot be physically dependable and no one will do anything about it other than shrug and talk about 'therapy'. That is cute when I can barely move on some days. Pain meds would probably help me get more active and able to do things, but we can't risk becoming addicted to something that might give me a few more years of relative activity (which I consider a decent enough trade off). When you are talking about someone who is in their early 30s and they are showing a desire to eat them like candy, okay. (I usually make a 30 day supply last 4 months. They don't care.)When you are talking about someone 60 or over who may or may not even exist much longer, are you really going to worry about that person becoming addicted? Really??
