Abstract: The following article has two objectivies: first, take a tour of the theory of medicalizatión of everyday life and, second, discuss the scope of medicine in the social relation. Through the later, I propose the idea of analgesic live. My hipótesis is that through the daily use of medicine, especially analgesic medicine, there was a transformaton in the way of understanding life and its problems. Analgesic offered the posibility of temporarily bury aches and pains and thus, daily life and health as status rechead a new ideal. This logic is then expanded to non-medical actvities where we are expected to work similarly. Today we prescribe us daily activites with analgesic reason, as part of self-diagnostic thatclaims to cure or heal or endure any sense of excessiveness that we can feel in our lives, since health becomes exigency and social analgesia in a need for our time.
