    Worst attitude ever towards those with chronic pain! Just because "Superman" here toughed out the pain from an acute injury, he concludes that those who need opioids chronically must be worthless and weak.🙄https://twitter.com/tjmedia2/status/1184317550626136064 …

    You can use other things for pain. Trust me I broke my femur refused that junk after one pill. It’s not worth what it provides. I just got tougher.

        When you do not understand that there's a fundamental difference between acute and chronic pain and that the treatment must fundamentally differ due to this fact, your advice necessarily will be useless.

        This is like telling someone suffering from major depression "Oh, I was sad once, too, but I just bucked up and it went away, you should do the same".

        He's obviously never heard of empathy, either.

        bumblefuck doesn't understand that there are two places where opioids are not counter-indicated now. Immediate pain reduction for acute pain, and chronic *debilitating* pain as the other options wreck organs. (my rescue med is an nsaid that would kill me if taken daily)
