As someone who actually ended up in ER with a badly broken ankle once, I beg to differ. After surgery, Percocet was the only reason I could sleep for the first few days. I got off it as soon as I could, though. Edit: I just wanted to point out there are different degrees of “acute extremity pain”. There’s “I bumped my toe against a chair leg” kind, and then there’s “I can’t breathe because I’m in shock” kind. Opioids are appropriate for the latter.
