Or, maybe, you have pain, it is not "manufactured" and that God sends you powerful medications to ease your pain.

So yes, turn your pain over to God. That doesn't mean that you quit seeing doctors or that you stop taking medication. Only you and God know the pain you feel, no one else does. Only you and God can be the judge. Your doctor and your sponsor can help, but in the end.... it is you and God. Listen carefully to what He says.
