Pain is under treated in America and it's going to get worse with the "opioid crisis"....
Back in the 1990's pain treatment was pretty bad. Pain patients would be given 30 4 hour pain pills for a month. It actually takes 180 4 hour pills for a month.
I fear it's going to get bad again. If you're a chronic pain patient please check out my new Facebook page the Arizona Society for Action on Pain at https://www.facebook.com/AZActiononPain
The fear of DEA was so bad in the 1990's we had a group of patients that maintained a secret list of physicians willing to treat pain. It was called the American Society for Action on Pain and it was ran by Skip Baker. We had patient advocates with a list of physicians in their state.
This is the story of the American Society for Action on Pain
If you're a chronic pain patient please contact your state and federal legislators and tell them your story.
