I don't think they like to see people suffer.
Not with pain
And not with the pain of tolerance and withdrawal
But it can be hard to get the balance right.Pain is a hard one.
There is a large psychological componant with respect to how intense and disruptive you perceive pain to be.
People have really been helped out with learning meditation etc to deal with chronic pain.I think they are more cautious
And for that I am glad.
I live in chronic pain.
I do not take medications for that
Except the odd anti-inflamatary.
I have a history of drug abuse
And I am grateful that I have learned to do without.
But that is just my experience.
