Sort of. I've posted some things in the Useful Sites Sticky thread on the Medications & Treatments forum from time to time....

Pain Management

The Truth About Opioid Pain Medications


...and in the Useful Sites & Resources Sticky thread on the Chronic Pain forum.

Adult Pain Management Patient Guides

Hormones and Chronic/Intractable Pain


As it's been a while, some of the links may have changed/expired. The articles might be located by goggling their titles. If not, lemme know and I'll try to find them or something equivalent, but I may not get to it until after the long weekend... (Mmmm.... Dead Bird!)

Doc

PS: In composing the following response to Myelogirl, I came across the replacement of one of the expired links:

Definitions Related to the Use of Opioids for the Treatment of Pain: Consensus Statement of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the American Pain Society, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine
