Is it really just because of the fentanyl situation? I know there is a huge disagreement with how the strict rules for prescribing opioids are so tight even for chronic pain patients like myself who can’t participate in life without em struggle to find a provider who is willing to prescribe us them.
Do the patients say they help? I can see them being reluctant if it does help. But there is always the question of if the patients are lying or not if they are still in pain.
