Those of us that have suffered long term severe pain do know that pain can kill us and you are right that others don't understand this. The NEJM numbers are pretty representative of the number that die each year and one reason that opiates can be a much better pain med for people that have long term severe pain. The opiates do less damage to our organs when they are used the right way. I know I don't have to have a yearly liver test for my pain med but I would if it contained Tylenol.
