: My weakest leg is definitely BE and I

Great question. It can be perfectly fine. You simply take it while you need it.
And then you taper off it. You will be grateful for it, and when you don't need it
we can share how to work with your doc to do a taper that will make stopping pretty
straightforward.

If you get really attached to it, then we can simply help you with that too. It's know we know lots about.
Don't scare yourself. And remember your body is already releasing LOTS of opioids for the pain

Warmly,

Kathleen
