Chronic pain advocate - the science, the politics and the lived experience
This is me. And this can happen to anyone, anytime.
Most of my friendships/relationships have ended because people simply to not believe that a disease can be that disabling, or that the pain can be THAT bad.

Recent study shows that opioids given in the ED for pain do NOT lead to addiction.
Addiction rate was about one quarter of 1%.
This is consistent with studies in chronic pain.
So why are we denying access to opioids for those who need them ?

Does treating pain in the ER with opioids lead to addiction? NO, according to science
In fact, the number of people who become addicted to opioids after being treated for pain is, once again, about 1 QUARTER of one percent. This is consistent across all large scale, recent studies
