My rumatologist prescribed it for me but my primary care doc warned me not to take it, said this stuff is very bad on the body and can cause some serious phyclogical problems. He also said that taking any type of these types of meds could lead to gun convacation due to Bama care and the government having access to medical records. He said that a minor incident with the law could result in medical background checks and snowball. Not saying he's right but it's a possibility. Instead I deal with the pain with good ol pain meds.
