Helped how? Masking pain? Pain sucks, but is a risk of addiction better?

Chronic pain is horrible to deal with. Not everyone becomes an addict. For some, opioids or opiates means getting at least some portion of their life back.

Fair enough. But it doesn't actually solve the problem.

Yah but it gets me out of three weeks of excruciating neck and shoulder pain to which I am told "try to limit the amount of time you sit up."

WTF? Ok I'll just spend the next three weeks on my back writhing from side to side never able to maintain position.
