That's true, but pain is also a blocker to healing. At the very least, take pain pills before bed, and *know* that you need to take breaks through the day. If you set a timer or something and really make yourself ease up, then you can balance pain meds with action and not overdue either.

*i'm a firm believer in meds for pain, as i know that being *in* pain is draining and depressing*

Take care, bb - we needs ya! :)
