Stimulator Reduces Pain for Chronic Pain Patients
How to Get Relief from Chronic Pain
CBD Oil, the new medical elixir
Northwest Indiana pain patients say they're unintentional victims of the opioid epidemic
Anderson, 52, used to take 90 milligrams of extended-release morphine. But in the midst of an epidemic of overdose deaths from opioids, her doctor took her off it.
She's on a shorter-acting, lower-strength form of the medication now. She says she can barely function.
She's not an addict, she says. Why can't she get the medicine she needs?
"It's almost to me like taking insulin away from a diabetic," she said. "To have a good, productive life and to have it taken away is like a shot in the gut."
