jefferson beauregard sessions iii sez aspirin over opioids for pain relief

[Nitram]

23. Actually, what Sessions said is probably borrowed from new medical guidelines that encourge the use

of alternatives to opioids when treating pain. Research shows that opioids are not appropriate when treating chronic pain (as opposed to acute pain suffered immediately after an injury or an operation). Over time opioids actually increase the body's sensitivity to pain. Doctors are encouraged to help patients reduce the level of pain rather than try to totally eliminate it in the case of chronic pain. Meditation, Estim therapy, ibuprofin and aspirin are indeed recommended in many cases that were formerly automatically treated with addictive opioids.
