But what is the root cause of pain? I used to be depressed and in a lot of pain. I could have got anti depressants and anti pain rXs. Turns out I was just fat and my body was mad at me. Switched to an active lifestyle and everything got better.

Does that mean it would work for everyone? No. But no doctor told me to go run. they either gave me medicine A or B or C, and changed doses to try and minimize side effects. It's terrible but I understand. I can't go to an overweight depressed friend and tell him he needs to fix his life not take drugs for his bad back.
