I would much prefer to be given more than ibuprofen for surgery, thanks. Have you have had tumor removed from your body? That would hurt like the dickens with just some tylenol and no real pain meds or anesthesia.

This is an incredibly simplistic view of a very complex issue.

If you didn't read my response why should I care?

It's backed by facts though. You can't give out opioids like candy and expect people to be responsible with them.

Why is it so hard to understand? I don’t think anyone here is saying there is no legitimate use for narcotic pain killers. If anyone is in huge amount of pain, by all means, take what you need. However it should almost never be default first line pain management outside of the hospital.

People don’t give ibuprofen enough credit.
