Years ago, I got sucked into pain MGMT. In 80's there weren't too many options besides pain meds. 12 years ago, I had enough and stopped. I can take pain meds now, I just keep close watch, my primary is aware and I have put the majority of the other crap I was taking on the "I'm allergic" list. Your mind DOES deal with pain but it takes a while.
