Actually, in most cases, pain killers are all you need and all that will help to get through injuries; and in just about all other cases, they are an extremely good addition. They allow the subject to sleep better and improve the quality of healing while at the same time avoiding mental stress as a result of the physical pain.
In addition, pain killers will be able to neutralize migraine headaches, which could otherwise have you vomiting in pain.
The moral of the story is you have only examined pain killers from a very biased angle, and that is probably also true about your examination of economics.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
