I think my 38 yr old mother-in-law has become addicted to pain killers after having back surgery…4 years ago. sometimes she is lively and seems free from severe pain but then “relapse” before her scheduled doctor’s evaluation
… she comes up with a different excuse everytime I offer to “tag along” to the doc’s. what can I do? is there any hope?
