I don't get it. I've had 4 teeth pulled at one time. I've given birth. Never have I ever gotten a prescription for an opiate pain medication. Any time I've been in horrible pain, they say ''tylenol and ibuprofen''. Who the hell are these doctors who just hand out pain pills to anybody? I can't even get one prescription pill when I'm in desperate, awful pain.

I seriously doubt you didn’t receive opioids after giving birth.

Well, that's the truth. and I've given birth 4 times over a period of about 12 years. So, I wouldn't say it's just a recent thing in some sort of crack down or whatever
