Chronic Pain
"I have had chronic back/abdominal pain for over 8 years. And I go to pain management. The morphine XR  has given me back my life again.  But the morphine definitely helps with my moderate pain. Unfortunately, now with the possible overdose death of Prince, the government will again tighten up restrictions on legally obtaining pain meds. I&#039;m in NY, and we have some of the strictest controlled substance laws in the country.  These were put in place after several high-profile celebrities who obtained these meds illegally, overdosed. It&#039;s not fair that the public has to pay the price for the rich and famous&#039; mistakes. Celebrities will always find a way to &quot;get around the laws&quot;, while the rest of us pay the price."
