What painkiller?!


Question:

What painkiller?

From your own experience, what painkiller is the safest on your organs? Ibuprofen, Tylenol or an Opiod used for chronic pain? Fibromyalgia sufferer.


Answers:

Opiates are the oldest and safest form of pain control. NSAIDS can cause ulcers which can bleed. Tylenol damages your liver and kidneys if taken for a long time. The only danger with opiates-- IF taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor-- is dependance (VERY different from addiction, which is a behavioral issue). That is why most pain management clinics use pure opiates along with injections, massage, etc. to treat chronic pain. They have been given a bad name by idiots who abuse them and then blame their doctors for their own stupidity, but they are actually the easiest on your organs. Taken them exactly as prescribed and don't take them if you don't need them, and you'll be fine.
