NFL retired player Randy Grimes inside day 2 of his detox as he prepares for a total knee replacement. Randy's physician Dr, Duncan explains to Randy that the levels of pain killers he had to take to address his chronic pain from football injuries were lethal & could have killed him. Like so many retired players the only form of affordable health care for Randy was to take pain killers for almost 10 yrs to address his football injuries which include severe knee injuries that needed surgery as well as neck injures. This is due to the fact that players are dropped from NFLPA insurance, are provided no access medical care and many like Randy are turned down for NFL disability Randy is now receiving pro bono treatment from the independent PAST retired NFL players program.
