That's A Pain

        We are at a time in our culture that if you mention that you have pain to your doctor, they eagerly prescribe a pain medication. If that pill doesn't take away the pain, many people whine and get more medication. Let's not forget to find out the cause and treat it before we numb our brains.
        Medications can be part  of a treatment program, but, should not be expected to  be the cure. I write this as my shoulder is screaming at me. I could take a pill. Maybe I'll just stop writing...
