Sorry you are afraid of them to bad, they do help when not used wrongly.
I use them when ever I go to the dentist plus the gas, I'm very anxious when in a dentist chair, used them when I had a hernia repair many years ago when there was no restrictions on them, never wanted a refill, helped me get around better as well.
Yes some are addictive when used to much for some people, but the majority of people will find them helpful per prescription.
I also use them for kidney stones once or twice every three years when the Doc says so to help pass them, saved me a lot of dollars from them not roto rooting me to get them out, although I have changed my diet severely, the stones still plague me continually ! Give cranberry juice a try. Dissolved a bunch of stones I had and no more pain!

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

They gave me 30 pain killers after my hernia surgery in 2006 I still have 28 of them.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I can hardly take anti biotic's! So NO i can't do pain pills, luckily i can take a couple of advil or such and be just fine.. Magnesium Citrate and mineral oil work very well. Pretty soon this kind of conversation is going to become way to common on an old guys website.

This! I haven't taken a pill of any sort in about 8 years. I tend to avoid doctors too. I am living like it is 1860. If Super Glue won't stop the bleeding then maybe I will go in. No one gets out alive and I don't see the sense in spending my life savings prolonging the inevitable.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Any medicine that contains a warning not to take with alcohol, will normally work much better with alcohol. Seems to be my experience when I was younger. Now I listen to the doctor. You say it is bad news, why take it. Sometimes you have to think a little for yourself, about what the Doc says. They often are seeing $$$ signs, not your best interest.

No,that would go against their hippocratic oath. I have dealt with doctors in a couple different countries and they all take their oath very seriously. Dont know about in the states where everything revolves around money-could be different I suppose.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

LOL I just laugh and shake my head. People hear pain meds and think you are an addict. The doses and amounts you are given WILL NOT MAKE YOU AN ADDICT. The FDA has limited the amount so much NO WAY it will happen. IT IS a medical fact your body heals faster after surgery if you take them. Side effects? Yes constipation is normal. But lot of water and stool softner for couple days will remedy that. Funny before the herion and fentanyl deaths started being lumped in with pain meds Dr would give them to you for a sinus headache. Pain meds aren't the problem . VERY rare a death from overdose is pain pills.
But believe what the media is feeding you. Funny how same ones believing if you take 2 pain pills you are an addict scream covid is just media pushed sickness.
You can get addicted to coffee. Raise your hand if you MUST have your coffee before you start your day ....... Never taken one before, but I had a preacher that I was selling hay to one time basically in tears because he got addicted to pain pills after a surgery. Saw my dad take a a dose for a day or 2 for his back(prescribed) and he never took anymore, flushed em i think. Pain meds might not be the problem for a lot of people, but I bet there are some people that were prescribed them who would argue differently. I do agree that caffeine may be the most addictive substance on earth.
