LIVE: @PattyMurray delivers opening remarks at HELP Committee hearing on pain management during the opioid crisis:https://www.help.senate.gov/hearings/managing-pain-during-the-opioid-crisis …
@PattyMurray: We have to find responsible, comprehensive solutions for pain management that ensure opioids are marketed, prescribed, and used responsibly but, at the same time, are within reach for people dealing with chronic pain.
@PattyMurray: It is so important that we listen to patients about their health care needs, whether that is finding ways to address that person’s pain or recognizing when asking for pain killers is a result of an addiction, which requires an entirely different form of treatment.
@PattyMurray: We need to do more to make sure that everyone facing pain is able to get treatments that work for them. This means ensuring research is done to better understand the biological basis of pain and the factors that determine what might work best for a patient.
@PattyMurray: As we continue our efforts to respond to the opioid crisis and build on the strong bipartisan steps we took last year, I’m glad we have this opportunity today to look at another important angle of that challenge.
a tragic farce whereby government calls for more obedience to their prussianism and market fundamentalism. like i say pain cate in america..cant get it right.
Long term pain management is not a real thing - it is just an excuse to sell Opioids that don't even work for pain and destroy all your internal organs
Really? Are you a doctor? I've had peripheral neuropathy for the last fifteen years. It is destroying the nerves in my hands and feet, leaving me in excruciating pain on a daily basis. Yes, chronic pain is a thing, even if some asshole online doesn't believe in it.
