Drugstore pain pills as effective as opioids in ER patients - StarTribune.com
Again Psneeld, our family have applied two, Tylenol and Ibuprofen at the same time and achieved rapid relief from aches and pain. Now understand, the use is the rare need. CBD oil on a daily basis achieves blanket continued relief from arthritic aches and pains.
I am licensed to prescribe opioids for short term pain relief. I only have done so a few times. Instead, I do what was described in the article. Normal OTC doses of Acetominiphen alternated with ibuprofen is incredibly effective, particularly for the type of pain my patients are dealing with.
However, that is not going to be effective to treat many of the complaints that some patients treat with MJ. I’m not a medical MJ advocate, but at the same time I do recognize that for many patients it is a necessary part of a treatment regime. Unfortunately, laws like CA’s have trivialized the use of MJ for the treatment of symptoms of certain diseases.
FWIW, I did not support WA legalizing recreational MJ use. I also have no first-hand experience with MJ use as I’ve never used it.
