I cannot stress this enough: do not indulge in self medication. I am talking about ingesting pills.
Pain is a warning sign that something is wrong. Even something dull that lasts a long time is not good. Get it checked by a doctor.
- ctdonath 15y agoBump that. Pain is a message. A serious message. Don't make it go away, FIX THE PROBLEM. Only take painkillers when you KNOW what the problem is AND ARE FIXING IT. After gallbladder removal, they gave me a big bottle of Vicodin and sent me home. Figuring that much of that strong stuff meant I should expect pain, I took it. Other indicators later I went back to the ER, realizing the pain was telling me something was very wrong. They didn't let me eat for two weeks waiting for the problem to heal.
