Imagine this one of CDC’s current goals is to INCREASING the number of people seeking NON-OPIATE pain management options. Everyone should look at the link above and see all the non-contagious disease issues they are expanding their interest in.
does this suggest that the chronic pain community should not expect any revised CDC opiate dosing guidelines to have a POSITIVE IMPACT – improved pain management – if/when they decide to generate a update ?
