Poll: Have you had to take opioids for pain?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

After waiting 44 months for a hip replacement, withdrawal from the drugs he was on for the pain felt like “madness” for Sean Steele.

The Hamilton man’s had his share of addictions but is so anxious to avoid a repeat of that experience he’s not using pain medication while waiting for his second hip replacement.
