I have a relative with 2 artificial hip replacements and many issues with his other organs which were injured durring a war from machine gun fire in Vietnam. About 8 months ago his opiate pain meds were reduced by over half. We now often visit and help him with chorrs as he can barely move. Opiates are a very important treatment and there is a stigma currently hurting needing patients.
