Husband with pain not originally over hip getting drug (6)

I believe the answer is:

heroin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drug' is the definition.
(I know that heroin is an opioid)

'husband with pain not originally over hip' is the wordplay.
'husband with' becomes 'h' (I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'pain' becomes 'bore' (both can mean an annoying person).
'not originally' means to remove the first letter (the origin of the word is removed).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'hip' becomes 'in' (both can mean fashionable).
'bore' with its initial letter taken away is 'ore'.
'ore' written backwards gives 'ero'.
'h'+'ero'+'in'='HEROIN'

'getting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
