Hah, im a psycho so i usually rawdog everything you would have to take painkillers for. Also i prefer not to get addicted to painkillers but thankfully that is pretty rare here in europe especially compared to the us.
Not treating pain can lead to chronic pain.
I mean if my doctor says that i have to take something i do but i usually ask if taking pain killers are necessary and its usually only for the pain. There are also painkillers that are anti-inflammatory and of course i take those.
Painkillers are no treatment
I’m mostly the same way.
Opioids make me physically ill and do not interact with my system well at all so I avoid them as much as I possibly can. I take it as a blessing that it puts me away from addiction risk, but it sucks when the rare Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) doesn’t cut it as my asthma makes NSAIDs a no-go.
Still, I’ll take swearing-pain over dizziness and breathing issues. Been tempted to take a knife to the problem areas myself though.
