There are two sides to this. One is that pain can be a severe impediment to living your life; I'm currently laying in bed, typing this on my phone, because my neck (which I injured last week) hurts too much to do much of anything else at the moment. I'd welcome pain relief in a heartbeat. The other side, though, is that pain is often a sign that something is wrong. If you're simply getting rid of the pain, you may very well make the issue worse unintentionally, or not notice it getting worse. So yes, pain relief is not necessarily a good thing in all cases, but it's not necessarily bad either.
