The dentist declined my request for something stronger than OTC meds
.... all the media bullshit about "the opioid crisis in America" has them
all afraid to prescribe for real issues . While a lot of folks get
hooked initially on prescription medication , that's not the big problem
.. The problem is the illegal/illicit stuff . I'm very careful with that
stuff , I got a little overboard many years ago while overseas and don't
ever want a repeat .

Snag

Yes, I have been hearing about that. I am very pleased there is
not quite so much trouble here about them. I have to take opioids because I
have no choice. I am very careful though. I make sure I can't have so many
that I become addicted.

That shouldn't stop you having decent pain relief though
