>>211597903Good question. I know someone who needed them after being rear ended by some retard at a red light.
She's one of the smartest, most honest and responsible people I know.
They made it impossible to get pain medicine that works now in our state, and the doctors all treat her like an addict, for absolutely no reason other than blowback from the bad press about painkillers.
She was on them for many years and was fine. Her quality of life has gone way down since they stopped prescribing them and they just keep giving her random shitty drugs that barely work.
