It's crazy how eager American doctors are to prescribe opioids. Over the last few years, Ive gotten narcotic painkillers for serious stuff like surgery, but also for more minor stuff like dental work or joint injections. In most of those circumstances I would take one or two of these pills and then be just fine with non-narcotic over the counter pain medicine. But every time, I am highly encouraged to take the narcotics "just in case" the pain gets bad.
