Reply to comment by thebraddestbrad in Machine learning model reliably predicts risk of opioid use disorder for individual patients, that could aid in prevention by marketrent

Me too, still didn’t take the opioids they gave me because ibuprofen and Tylenol are of a similar efficacy when it comes to pain control, they just don’t get you high

Not true. Opioids are better at pain control than NSAIDs. There are other options besides otc NSAIDs and opioids, too, like ketolorac.

This also isn't about who can handle more pain without resorting to narcotics. If you didn't need anything but otc NSAIDs, don't assume it's because you're more tolerant of pain. You just weren't in as much pain.
