You don't go into withdrawals from pain meds just from something like a broken bone. I suffered third degree burns on 4 fingers on my hand. I was on morphine and hydromorphone for the week I was in the hospital because of the third degree burns. Those pain meds were definitely needed, and I didn't go through withdrawals. The pain would definitely be worse than taking the pain meds in that and many other cases. Typically the physical dependence on opioids is a worry in more long-term patients, like those in general chronic pain who sometimes have to keep upping the dosages in order to continue to be effective. In those cases the doctor may lower the doses and make the patient go through some pain so that lower dosages are effective again. As someone in chronic pain, pain meds make a huge difference in my quality of life. Sure, there those that abuse the system or do become physically addicted, but until people have to live with chronic pain, they don't understand what a huge drain being in constant pain is and how much quality of life suffers for them.
I am not in anyway knocking those that require assistance in pain management. I know far too many people that have to be wholly against them. The manufactures purposefully hid information to get their product on the market, we just saw it happen again with the Jab. Neither of us are wrong here. I do also agree that there are people that abuse the system but with my own eyes I have witnessed the system abuse people. My point being, until those responsible are held accountable it creates an arena to disregard pertinent information for the sake of making money. Alternatives also exist. So like, George Floyd ODed, his fault for abusing fentanyl. The manufactures of fentanyl are also to blame for not disclosing its dangers and for pushing its use to make money. The drugs are not the problem, how they are, in some arenas, pushed onto the consumer is.
