Yeah, it is.
I don't know if it's so much the pain getting worse, or tolerance of pain going down. But yeah, I'm with you on that.
There's a lot of research out there that says it's the pain pills being a disastrously poor long term pain management tool.

Patients develop a tolerance and need more and more of an incredibly addictive substance, and if they ever come off, most patients report an increase in base level pain. Losty, I'd imagine your sleep issues are a direct result of these pain pills, I'd talk to your doctor.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
