Summary
This study tests whether taking high-dose vitamin C for two weeks can reduce the amount of opioid painkillers people need after leaving the emergency room with acute muscle or bone pain. About 464 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either vitamin C or a placebo. The goal is to see if vitamin C can safely lower opioid use while still controlling pain.
