Fixing the pain problem would go a long way toward getting the opioid epidemic under control.

Possibly. But pain is a protective/warning mechanism. You can’t just turn off all sensation of pain and not cause other problems.
Excellent point...
I take 6 to 8 OTC pain relief pills for my left knee and back daily...

You really think that? People abuse opioids because they like the high. Pain patients take opioids because they don’t like the pain. I know a lot of chronic pain sufferers who don’t like opioids at all but that is the current “state of the art” in pain relief.
