I do think psychological pain management is helpful.

And I think an article that's supposed to be about "women's experience of chronic pain" that doesn't even mention pain medicines is woefully inadequate in a way in which my culture is routinely woefully inadequate in the way it addresses women's health conditions.

For some people, pain meds work well to manage their chronic pain, and don't cause problematic side effects. Those people should have access to pain meds. But often (maybe this is just in the US though) they don't have access because doctors believe that women's pain is all in their heads or that young women never have chronic pain and therefore if they ask for pain meds they must be drug-seeking addicts.
