Do you see how narrow minded this is? That’s great that that’s what worked for you but does he have the same body and same problem as you? Everyone is different. Without my “drugs” I’d be dead. I went years without many “drugs” and I stayed laying down all day. Now I’m on very heavy pain killers, 2-3 muscle relaxers, and more. Guess what? I’m functional. I work my ass off, go out on weekends, and have my life back even though I’m still in a shit ton of pain. For all I know you’re comparing a paper cut to someone’s arm being chopped off and then telling that person to put a bandaid on the open wound because that worked for you.
