Consulting a bbq forum for medical advice 😂

Although I would generally agree with you, there is a wealth of expertise available here, in many professions/vocations. 

My experience has been that many such professionals care about folks, especially bbq folks, and offer reasonable advice to forum members who are not a-holes. Sometimes, reasonable advice is even offered to the a-holes.

I'd defintely count @fishlessman among the non a-holes, but opinions may differ. 

plus medical knowledge is pretty much contagious, so if there are a few professionals on here, we’re all pretty much going to be really smart amateurs from just hanging out.

I’m almost an engineer based on this theory as well.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn once...

They still have all 28 flavors?

while tramadol is classified as an opiod, and works similarly, it is significantly less likely to cause addiction. Not impossible though...

It actually is NOT an opiod. So you can tell your dad he is NOT on an opiod, just a drug that is classified as one. When it first came on the scene in the 90's it was not even classified as an opiod.

I have used tramadol for over two years and my experience with it was that it helped a lot with the pain (in my knees) but it was intermittently causing me major headaches.  I stopped using it because somehow it started making me feel numb, like real numb. I stopped without any problem or any sign of addiction.  I guess different people will react differently.
