  • It’s actually getting more difficult in the US.

    Opioid painkillers can now only be given at hospitals or prescribed by surgeons or pain specialists. The GP or Urgent Care center can’t do it.

    It’s been a real problem for me. I do understand and agree with the rule change on a societal level, but when my back gets truly bad, I really do need an Oxy. Usually, it just takes one pill along with some steroids and anntiinflamatories to start the healing process and allow me to start walking to the toilet again, but to get that one pill, I now have to go to the ER and pay $4,000.
