I had severe sciatic pain for three years. They gave me pain killers, but being in a chemical fog all day is almost as bad as the pain. Plus, the pain is not really gone, just damped down enough to allow movement, sleep, etc. That was years ago, but I can imagine how it would be if that pain was still with me, after 20 years. Imagine that, 20 years of not being able to move, of popping pills that induce a zombie state.
