It is usual for us to get pains most anywhere.  The important thing is that it usual will go away afer time, sometimes even after a couple of days.  What is in our control is how we eat and exercise.  So instead of giving in to pain, be sure that you are eating reasonably and doing something physical every day, like walking for example.\n\nWe are made to be healthy.  So most of the time our pains will work themselves out.  Again, if it persists, then you will need medical attention.  Otherwise, hang in there.

It doesn't. Painkillers like aspirin, ibuprofen or the newer drugs like celecoxib and rofecoxib belong to the group called NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs). These act by inhibiting an enzyme called Cyclo-oxygenase, which plays a role in the production of Prostaglandins, which are the mediators of pain in the body. The opiates (morphine/pethidine/codeine/methadone etc.) relieve pain by the means of their action on the receptors in the Central Nervous System (either in the brain or the spinal cord) that are responsible for the transmission of and interpretation of the pain sensation. Thus, neither group targets a specific type or site of pain. The only reason for the difference in their efficacy of treating pain (opiates being more efficient) is because of the different mechanism of action.

Dont rely too much on pain killers.\nToo much paracetamol aint good. Can damage your liver.\nAnd your body will be immune to pain killers, causing you to consume more and more when the need arises to have pain killers.\n\n*  Taking a warm bath or a hot water bottle encourages the muscles to relax\n* Eating a healthy diet, as constipation has an effect on the pain\n* Taking gentle exercise to relax the muscles\n\nYou might want to see a doc to make sure there arent anything that's causing the pain.

More than likely it will make you sick and you will vomit..depends on what and how much.  Pain meds are made to where they will make you sick if you take too many. Sleeping pills....depends..probably won't kill you but you may sleep for a while (I tried killing myself with sleeping pills, I just got high and didn't sleep for days).

Narcotic pain meds are extremely addictive.  For those with chronic pain, it's better to explore other means of pain relief.. like TENS units, surgically implanted pain relief devices, or even visualization.  I work with too many people that became addicted to their pain meds. Anti-inflammatory meds like Aleve, Motrin, etc. may work better for you if you add Tylenol.  They work in different ways but work well together.

Hi, I'm a medical student, and this is what we've learned in class:\n\nEverything that people have said above is true.  The cervix has no pain receptors--only pressure receptors--so you'll only feel pressure as they do the swabbing/scraping.  Mostly, if people feel pain, it means they are not relaxed enough themselves.\n\nAs for birth control pills, oral contraceptives cause an increase in appetite--it is up to you whether or not you gain weight.  So, just be on the lookout for an increase in appetite, and control what you eat appropriately.

Yes- there are a number of different brands over the counter- they are usually near the pain reliever section.

Aleve works good for my leg pain but i bet doans pills would be better for you.  I use extra strenght for back pain which i don't get that often anymore.  take two pills to start and another half an hour later.  by then even if you have pain you don't care.......

Ask your doc to send you to pain management, the doc may be leary of narcotic pain killers.

I had a friend that was hooked on pain killers, after he had injured his back at work. We checked him into the hospital and after two weeks he was finally weaned off the pain killers. ( Hospital or a Rehab center)

It really depends on your pain threshold. I'm sure it hurts a little at first, but you get used to it over time and eventually it is no big deal.

Morphine is a painkiller. The rest is self-explanatory.

No, but what is harmful is the daily pain that is causing you to take excedrin every day.  If you are having pain that doesn't go away after a few days, or daily headaches, you should be seen by a doctor soon.
