Questions from patients about pain conditions and analgesic pharmacotherapy and responses from authors are presented to help educate patients and make them more effective self-advocates. The effects of long-term opioid use on testosterone production, associated comorbidities, and medication-based and natural testosterone replacement therapies are considered.
