Why Is This Still A Problem
With all the decades of research6, you’d be forgiven if you thought pain would go the way of polio by now. Yet pain remains a crisis in many parts of the world7. In fact, it is the reason behind America’s biggest health crisis today8, with sufferers turning to doctor-prescribed “solutions” that actually worsen the problem9.
Despite all these prescriptions, many still can’t find relief for their pain, to the point that it’s almost accepted fact that there’s nothing that can be done except to live in pain. What’s worse, recent studies seem to suggest that the “solutions” prescribed by doctors are “not better at reducing pain to improve function for chronic back, knee, and hip pain.”10
And on the off-chance you do find some measure of relief?
Be prepared to deal with nasty side effects of chronic opioid use11 such as:
Constipation...
Sleep apnea...
Heart failure...
Higher risk of fractures...
And ironically, an increased sensitivity to pain12.
But there is hope.
