A question about pain medications?!


Question: A question about pain medications?
I recently went to the dentist for severe toothpain. She told me Aleve works as well as the narcotic painrelivers. I have been taking it,along with an antibiotic, for over a week now,and have not gotten a lot of relief from it. A few nights before I went to the ER in severe pain for my teeth, the doctor there also suggested I try Aleve, and I was not given any pain medication. I am wondering if there is an epidemic of people who are addicted to prescription pain pills? Because I have been refused them several times now,whereas in the past when I had any severe pain the doctor would usually prescribe them to me no questions asked.

Answers:

Just take 20 minutes and surf through theses questions and you will see how many young people are addicted to pain medications. The numbers are alarming. So the end result is that when people really need it then they are denied.It just doesn't seem fair.

Yea a lot of people are abusing prescription drugs. I had surgery a few days ago and was prescribed a narcotic, hydracodin and they arnt as strong as pain relievers as you think, just get you tiered. What you might wanna do is get to the bottom of your tooth ache and get it permanently fixed



go to a dentist in central VT., like oral surgery of VT. next to the hospital.(if u have insurance) & they will look at it & decide if it needs work, or pulling. Pulling , they usually give u a prescription
