YMMV but acetaminophen is extremely effective for me. I refuse all opioid/etc prescriptions even after surgeries, and acetaminophen makes this tolerable. It doesn't magic the pain away but it takes the edge off with no risk of addiction.
My understanding is that for chronic pain the evidence is sparse, but for postoperative pain it definitely works.
- trogdor 3y agoDo you also refuse intraoperative opioids?
- mcpackieh 3y agoNo, but I refuse to have such drugs placed in my custody to me for me to be responsible for. The doctors can dose me with whatever they think is appropriate while I'm under their supervision, but I won't take that stuff home with me.
