The problem is things have gone to far the other way now. Those with Chronic Pain are now committing suicide (as did my wife) when they are let to suffer.

The CDC itself stated in April of 2019:

"CDC Advises Against Misapplication of the Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain Some policies, practices attributed to the Guideline are inconsistent with its recommendations"

Sadly the medical community is not getting that message due to this mater now becoming political.
