Post Surgery Pain Medication Risk Post 1/4 🧵 ‼️ ZERO fatal overdoses from short-term post-op opioids in 1.4 MILLION surgeries. 💥 That’s <0.01% risk of dying. Tylenol alone? 56,000 ER trips every year. 🤯 Yet doctors are terrified to give you the one thing that actually works. 🔴 THE RIGGED REALITY • One extra refill → instant DEA/CMS alerts🚨 • Too many scripts → hospital loses millions in bonuses💰 • Every pill tracked in state databases💊 • Doctors go to federal prison for treating pain “too well”🥼 • 3-day caps are now the norm → run out? Beg or suffer🫠 Result: You get 3 pills and a prayer.🙏 #PostOpPain #PainAs5thVitalSign Continued ⬇️🧵

Why can I advocate for others, but when it comes 2 me I freeze? My Dr left & I'm being told (by televisit conveniently) I can no longer have my current meds & doses. "Not safe" after 17 yrs. Have 2 see someone new next Thurs. 🤦‍♀️ #cpp #chronicpain #myturn

If you get generic meds from a foreign facility, please read the article in the comments about inspections... They weren't properly inspected *before* this. Your life LITERALLY may depend on you asking for something manufactured in the US. #chronicillness #Medications
