Right. I've had first hand experience. I've got a disease called avascular necrosis. When I was 13 my joints started to deteriorate and break. It wasn't until I turned 21 and got a hip replacement in my right hip that I got a pain killer besides prescription ibprophen (essentially just insurance covered, theres no difference between that and over the counter) no my left hip is starting to deteriorate. Even though I've got now over a decade of proof of broken bones, surgery and titanium joints I still can't get pain killers because of the opiate epidemic. I've seen many doctors. Given them my x-rays. The best I can get is injections of steroids into my hips. Until my hip breaks enough to qualify for replacement I'm fucked.
