If you're one of the 7% to 20% of Americans with undiagnosed sleep apnea (a fact we learned from @DrYili), taking opioids before bed has hidden (potentially deadly) risks.
@phelpshospital A6: Medications can be delivered by safe injections to the area where the pain starts. Painful nerves can be safely numbed, and devices can be implanted to cover the painful signal. It is important that these procedures are done by a trained physician.
