Why is there such a big thing about prescription opioids when the addiction rate in less than 1% for those who have been prescribed for pain?
Is it really just because of the fentanyl situation? I know there is a huge disagreement with how the strict rules for prescribing opioids are so tight even for chronic pain patients like myself who can’t participate in life without em struggle to find a provider who is willing to prescribe us them.

It may be low, but it's still thousands. I had knee surgery last year and didn't take opiates because I'm at higher risk for addiction.
