Umm, Number 1 in your link contradicts number 2, first they claim it is not helpful for long term relief, then go on to say it is helpful for long term relief.

Umm, Number 1 in your link contradicts number 2, first they claim it is not helpful for long term relief, then go on to say it is helpful for long term relief. Further in typical UK practice they claim it is not helpful but offer no alternative treatments, claiming it should be discontinued even if there are no alternative. basically what I said "Suck it up buttercup" but they state it in a more PC and nanny government terminology >Quite clearly nonsense. hmmm http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Pain/Pages/Longtermpain.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Pain/Pages/Longtermpain.aspx "You may also be referred for complementary therapy to see if that helps with the pain. You should be offered advice on how to better manage your pain on a day-to-day basis, such as by using self-help techniques." Again, No pain Killer, just walk it off or deal with it. That is the UK policy on long term chronic Pain. Suck it up and learn to live with it. >No, these are evidence based restrictions. No infact they are not, not in the case of the DEA/US Drug Control Policy anyway There is not a single drug control policy in the US that is "evidence based" most of is not even about the actual drugs, it is about power, control, money, and about 100 other things but not public safety or drugs
