Do you take Pain Relievers?

Nah, I havent taken any painkillers since I was 6. I get terrible heartburn if I do.

No, I don't take pain pills. I refuse to take pills for that sort of thing. Refusing anesthesia when getting a cavity filled was a mistake though (I got it, but it wasn't effective and they offered more and I declined). Tooth hurt for weeks. :(

Gargle with warmed salt water, it will heal a lot faster.)

I take them whenever I feel like it.Jandurin

Okay, but pain pills can be bad for you, youknow.... oh well, it's your stomache.

3 500 mg Vicodin everday, sometimes up to 5 depending.

What? aint it kinda too much there?

Yes, but I only use them when I have a headache pretty much.

Whenever I have a headache, because my headaces always demotivate me and make me want to do nothing. Usually whatever is in the medicine drawer.

No. If my body can't create its own pain relievers when it needs them then there's something wrong with me.

He's saying that if he were shot then he would pull the bullet out and sew it up himself and allow it to heal naturally.. Despite the masses of germs and infections it would cause without medicine. And he would eventually die because of it. I'd say you should use as little medicine as possible, but don't be stupid.

Meds are good.

Don't be ridiculous. I wouldn't sew the wound if I were shot. I'd cauterize it.

No, cletus. They send the info to the brain. You got it backwards.

When you are in pain, the brain is sending different kinds of signals to your part of the body in pain. If this does not happen, you feel nothing, because the act of "Feeling" is not occurring on your body but in your brain. If I touch the right part of your brain and send the right signals into it, I can make you feel anything anywhere on your body.

Please explain to me the phantom limb effect if the body is sending pain signals to the brain.

Motor neurons effect the muscles and have little to do with pain or sensation.

Sensory neurons receive signals before they send them out. The fact that you ever feel anything before the pain--the fact that you are aware that you even have an arm-- should be proof enough for you to understand.

Again, phantom pain. People born without limbs can describe those limbs as being on fire. Explain that. I'm not going further until one of you can tell me how pain can be felt and described in parts of the body we do not possess.

I just kicked an addiction to pain killers.

Dur-hur-hur? I see you still ignore phantom pain, ignore the very definition of "receptor" (hint: your link backs my stance, not yours) and you ignore exactly what the central nervous system is.

I'm going to do a little evaluation: you went blindly searching wikipedia for the first thing that seemed to support your stance and, once you found something that didn't use the word "brain" to describe it, you, not know what the central nervous system is, quoted that link without even reading the article, thinking I wouldn't read it or know what I'm talking about.

Let's try this again: explain to me how, if you were right and I was wrong, we can feel and describe pain in parts of the body ranging anywhere from the eyes to limbs, regardless of whether or not we are in possession of those parts of the body, if pain is not located in your brain but your skin.

Explain. It. It would dismantle everything I've said and send me on my merry way.
