> Perhaps the pain doesn't need to go away. Perhaps it's there for a reason. Pain is indeed useful most of the time (to prevent damage to the organism) but like all warning systems, it has false positives or activates when the cause of activation cannot realistically be remediated. Those are the cases where opioid or cannabinoid medication can be useful; because having protective mechanisms like pain activated chronically and for no good reason can be debilitating.
