Look I live with a chronic bad back and while I try to do without medicine sometimes the pain is so blinding it feels like I'm a puppet with its strings cut...Still the doctors only answer is to load me up on powerful "dont care about anything narcotics"...Of which I rarely take...
I feel some pain is useful it tells me I have to be careful and not over do...but when I'm on the doctor pills I forget I cant do somethings any more and sure enough I'll do something foolish then spend weeks wishing I had taken the pills...
So what do you all think? should we really be trying to knock out all pain or is a little reminder helpful?

constand pain is bad. but for you to be able to at least feel pain is needed. so you dont overdo yourself.

I've lived with chronic pain all my life, the last fourteen years of it anyway without letup. Yes, the doctors fill you with pain meds then tell you your addicted etc.
There are other ways, I now have a Medtronic spinal stimulator that takes about 70% of the pain away. I don't think it's necessary to live in pain, that's not normal. Your going to have some pain, whatever you do, that's enough.
If it's possible to live without pain then do it. There are ways other than drugs, you have to look for them.
