I can't say I'm surprised that the Surgeon General has used Pain Awareness Month as an opportunity 2 once again denigrate chronic pain suffering citizens. Tylenol and Ibuprofen are as effective as shooting a pellet gun into a hurricane. Keep gov't out of dr./patient interactions.

Yes....read the labels n they will tell you that Tylenol n Advil etc. are for minor muscle aches, headaches, fever n so on..keep reading n you will see where it says not to take long term..if problem persists...see your doctor, most of whom will now tell you to take them

Koroshetz “We need better medicine. The methods we have now are just not effective” BETTER? WHAT?
#Opioids are incredibly effective! Have given tens of millions their life back-have for over 5,000yrs. Opioids are safe, legal & FDA-Approved. Leave pain pts alone.#opioidhysteriaThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I like how the idea that maybe her pain is being caused by some other undiagnosed issue or inflammation from her other illness isn’t an offered solution.
