Why not?
- zwnow 1y agoStresses the liver, also if its used frequently for mild inconveniences you should maybe go to the doctor, as frequent headaches or stuff like that can hint to more severe stuff.
- epcoa 1y agoIt does not stress the liver at recommended doses. Plenty of people get frequent headaches and other aches that have no other severe stuff going on, or really anything that needs to be treated more than symptomatically. Scheduled tylenol is an effective element of a pain regimen for many people.

- Gud 1y agoAlthough I rarely take any form of painkiller, I've had headaches so bad I could barely exist. In those cases, pain killers were an important relief.
- seattle_spring 1y agoYup. Anyone that flippant about "just a headache" definitely doesn't experience actual bad headaches themselves, and lacks empathy for those who do.

- AlexeyBelov 1y agoLook at their bio. Why do you want them on this website, dang?
- dang 1y agoSometimes, when treated nicely, people change.
- happytoexplain 1y agoWhat makes you think people who take a painkiller for chronic pain generally don't report it to their doctor?
- kayodelycaon 1y ago1. A lot of people won't go to a doctor in the united states 2. They may be so used to pain they don't think to mention it. 3. A lot of people lie to their doctors for one reason or another.
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoIn the US there’s also deep religious influence that paints suffering as virtue that’s been exploited by capitalists to establish a norm of pushing through the pain and continuing to work instead of taking a break to figure out what the root cause is and address it. Some also just don’t have a choice, because taking time off means not getting paid which means losing a roof over their head.
