Opioids don’t do much pain relieving for me, they just make it easier to ignore because you’re high.

OTCs can also be dangerous. I have kidney disease and cannot take NSAIDS. I believe rest and sleep should be more stressed in this talk. Sometimes that works better than a lot of the pain pills available. What upsets me is those of us who have little choice are often UNDER medicated because of the opioid scares.

Its tough. In some countries codeine base painkillers are available OTC. I had a friend that had failed kidneys and its a hard life to go for dialysis 3 times a week. His kidney disease was caused by ibuprofen!

This is the usual evolution of the slippery slope called drugs: coffee ➡ tobacco ➡ alcohol ➡ steroids ➡ inhalants ➡ marijuana ➡ DXM ➡ kratom ➡ speed ➡ MDMA ➡ benzodiazepines (rohypnol) ➡ hallucinogens (ayahuasca, DMT, ketamine, LSD, mescaline, PCP, salvia, shrooms (psilocybin) ➡ crack cocaine ➡ crystal meth ➡ oxycodone ➡ heroin ➡ fentanyl ➡ death.
BTW alcohol has killed more people than all the other drugs combined. 💕☮🌎🌌

I swear to God, NSAIDS and Opiates don’t reduce my pain at all. I don’t have chronic pain or anything like that, but when I do something like get a burn on a stove and take either I still feel all of the pain. I never got it checked out in childhood because my parents stopped listening and I haven’t had it looked into as an adult because who cares lol.

After my surgery, I was prescribed ketorolac, tylenol, and codeine. The least effective was the codeine because it just made me feel dizzy without removing the pain. Tylenol and anti-inflammatory meds work really well for me. Oh, and ice.

After 4 hours of abdominal surgery as I was going back to my room my nurse offered me 2 – 1,000 mg. Tylenol. I just screamed get me your charge nurse! I have been closely with my PM doctor for 12 years! I got Morphine right away iv. I am 71 years old. I expect my pain level to be taken care of in the hospital! I did get orders for Morphine from my surgeon for my 4 day stay. I was very comfortable.

Totally agree with the precautions she gives, but in my personal experience, not me nor anybody else I talked to ever (and I stress it here – EVER) said that ibuprofen made them feel less pain than codeine. ever. what she’s talking about? paracetamol can’t be nearly as good as codeine or (which is much better) a combination of NSAIDS and codeine. Surely, addiction is the worst thing of all, but let’s be honest here, oftentimes NSAIDS are simply unable to stop the fucking pain and opiate receptors in our brain are there exactly for that – for reducing the pain using the opioids produced by the body itself.
When you ask you doctor about NSAIDS they should always prescribe them with a plan – a plan of not giving you an ulcer. That’s the fact she somehow decided to miss in this video.
and for f.. sake stop telling us that dopamine is for the joy and pleasure. f… no! that’s no nearly a true! dopamine never gives anybody a feeling pleasure. dopamine is about motivation and anticipation of satisfaction, its levels at top when you eagerly wait for something very desirable to happen, not after that happened. and there at least 3 dozens of other neurotransmitters in the body but media keep talking only about 2-3 of them as if they decide everything.

I’ve been on opoids, nerve blockers and muscle relaxants for nearly 20 years.
I tailor my opiod usage to my needs, and try to have days off where possible.
I also use a variety of relaxation techniques.
I use what you’d call Tylenol, but I never use NSAID’s as they wreck my insides. I won’t use the medications to protect the stomach (PPI’s) as they cause other issues.
Do I suffer withdrawal symptoms…yes
Can I stop completely…yes (and have a number of times).
There is no fix for my pain, and it is unrelenting.

Opioids might be ‘most commonly prescribed’ pain killers in the US, certainly not here in Switzerland. After a really bad cycling crash (broken collarbone, broken ribs, compressed back and lung) requiring surgery, I was released from the hospital with Optifen (Ibuprofen) and Tramal (Opioid) as pain killers. I was instructed to use the Tramal only in emergencies, if I couldn’t sleep and the Optifen wouldn’t do the job. If I needed to use it, I was told, that I could only use it for 10 days and then had to stop.
So I was really reluctant to use it and took it only once, the pain (really bad back pain) went away really quick, but I had the feeling of falling into a coma. Then never touched it again and stuck with the Optifen. I understand why the physicians here are really, really reluctant to prescribe opioids as pain killers.
Joshua Marquis
October 27, 2022 at 8:43 pm
Childish and unsophisticated.
Of course people shouldn’t receive opiates for ordinary back aches or transitory pain.
We went in the US from grossly over-prescribing them in the late 90s to dramatically
underprescribing now in 2022. The horrible death and overdose rates are not from prescription opiates,
but from illegal fentanyl and heroin.
Pray you don’t suffer either acute or severe chronic pain, or you’ll likely encounter a baby-talking, condescending
person like this, telling you “it’s all in your head.”

What a load of actual crap.opuates rules are racist and misogynistic and Not one person in a white lab coat or the government should be in charge of any person’s entire life course. Opiates gave been working for over 4000 years. Any responsible adult with valid ID should be able to buy what they want or need and go on with their work or life. It is not a crime to be in pain whether emotional physical or spiritual.

@obssession, THAT’S BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PAIN OPIOIDS WORK FOR NERVE PAIN NOT SO MUCH FOR BACK PAIN THAT’S WHY THE IBUPROFEN WORK FOR THE BACK PAIN PEOPLE ARE SO UNEDUCATED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PAIN AND WHAT PAIN MEDICATIONS WORK FOR EACH ONE OF THEM!

3:09 asking à specific med to a doctor is not the right thing to do. It’s the right thing with pharmacist, not with doctor. Pharmacist sell you what you ask. The doctor is an engineer trained to find the best solution to a problem, you should not request a specific solution.
And advising to do so on an educational channel is counter productive.
For this single phrase, the video should be removed.

After my periods were getting progressively worse and not even codeine+ibuprofen worked (the dose you can buy OTC in UK), I finally had a surgery on my uterus. After I woke up I was in terrible pain and was told I had been given morphine but it didn’t seem to be doing anything. I had to wait few hours and after eating a piece of toast the nurses agreed to give me ibuprofen (not before I had sth in my stomach) and that helped a little bit. Since then I am honestly more and more confused about how painkillers work.
And also, I much recommend you read Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe.
