I think until you've experienced truly horrific pain, you may not have a good perspective.  Proper pain management is in fact required for recovery.  I don't think my friend who just got split from neck to belly button for heart surgery should have to go without adequate pain relief.  The real problem is discharging patients with inappropriate prescriptions and types of pain meds.  [/quote]

If my body is covered in third degree burns I hope to God my doctors will have the compassion to put me on Dilaudid 24/7.[/quote]

A lot of people talking about how opiates shouldn't be used for chronic pain have never experienced pain that has destroyed their quality of life. The sad thing is that people abusing these drugs has caused many others to suffer in pain because few doctors prescribe opiates for long term users anymore.

IV dilaudid is so amazing that any person taking that drug would immediately realize that chasing a high with that drug is a really bad idea.[/quote]

Chronic pain just don't come one day. It is a signal that your body sends you for abusing your body for years either by eating some bad food, not exercising, etc. Therefore, it is a result of your life choices. Pain medication is not going to cure your chronic pain, it is not going to go any where until you make a life style changes. [/quote]

This is really ignorant. I have a disease that is genetic and progressive. Ive experienced different levels of pain every day for 8 years. I'm not overweight, I exercise and eat well. However, I experience painful flares despite being on medication. These flares make it difficult for me to work and care for my kids. My doctor won't prescribe pain medicine unless the pain wakes me up at night. I can't take NSAIDS so I just have to live with it and spend a lot of time in bed on ice and heat.

People don't ask to be in pain. Have some compassion and awareness before making generalizations.[/quote]
