HealthDay (11/9, Preidt) reports, “More than two-thirds of Americans would be willing to try alternatives to prescription opioids to control pain after surgery, a new survey shows.” According to HealthDay, “The survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults aged 18 and older found that four out of five believe opioids are necessary to manage pain after surgery, and 65% are more worried about managing their pain than about the potential risk of opioid addiction,” while “68% said they would be willing to try opioid-free pain management after surgery.” The findings were announced in an Orlando Health news release.
