Tell me about it. I’m a disabled veteran and have had many many knee surgeries and a partial knee replacement on right knee, partial upgraded to full upgraded to rotating hinged joint replacement and all I got for pain meds after surgery was 20 hydros.

Before the whole opioid pressure epidemic the VA sent me 90 hydro 10s a month. They are uppers to me and if I took them as issued I wouldn’t sleep. I voluntarily had them cut it down to 60 a month. Then trump did his thing and I get called an addict by the VA. My refute was if I was an addict 60 wouldn’t last me a week unlike the month they were lasting me. But alas they took them away and I had to find alternative pain relief. Marijuana was it and when I popped positive on one of their annual physical drug test they tried to scold me like I was a freaking kid. I went off on them saying maybe if you morons actually treated patients we wouldn’t have to seek other alternatives.
