I have a close family member who has been through just about every treatment, surgery, and procedure under the sun for back pain multiple times, but still finds little to no relief.

At one point within the past 3 years, the doctors suggested a prescription for opium... to which we were all like, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Thankfully, we answered as a family with one unanimous and resounding NO, THANK YOU!!!

I was personally shocked out of my gourd that such a thing would even be recommended.

Can they still prescribe Opium? This wasn't in the US right?! Zero?

Yup, right here in the good old US of A. I can't remember what state it was, if that makes a difference... but the family member asked us collectively what we thought and as I said, I. Was. Shocked. that such a thing would even be offered.

I have no idea how they would have even attempted to control the addictive nature of the substance... And we for sure did not want to find out. We decided that for our family, nothing was worth that kind of risk.

*Just read OnceFallen's post... I'll have to ask exactly what the form was that was offered.*
