Pain meds can be a sort of a trap, by making people less active, gain
weight and actually make back problems worse. I don't argue that some
problems require strong meds for adequate relief. And a lot of "back
pain" is only an excuse to feed an addiction - have seen it working in
case management and in drug detox. In a detox center, it wasn't unusual
to hear folks discover they had back pain or arthritis once they quit
using drugs and alcohol )

Well, I have used pain meds to suppress the pain and relax the muscles so I
could use them. Especially with back and related pain, the meds SHOULD be
used so the person can exrcise and strengthen the muscles that weakened,
thereby causing the condition.
