What is hypersensitivity to pain medication mean verses tolerance to meds? after seeing chiro pain is now wide spread spine instead of lower back

Meds: Hypersensitivity refers to being more sensitive to medications than most people. Tolerance means it takes more medication than it used to take to get the same result.

3 questions : Tolerance means the meds don't work as well and you require MORE of them for the same effect. ( with dangerous side effects) Hypersensitivity could mean the meds work TOO well and a little bit has a strong effect. Why would you see a chiro ? Especially one that causes your pain to worsen ? If having pain that doesn't get better in a day or so see a real doctor for evaluation and recomend.
