Do you take Pain Relievers?

[QUOTE="Taylor_B"][QUOTE="-_Rain_-"]

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.

I don't care who your dad is or what he does unless I'm talking to him. My grandfather's an ex-marine; doesn't mean I know how to assemble a gun.

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.

Pain receptors are activated from outside stimuli such as a hot pan. They send signals to the brain. Your brain interprets that as "Ow that burns"

Phantom limb syndrom can be cause by accidental firing of the damaged nerves at the site of the injury.

Occasionally - I took them today for a cracking head ache I had earlier but if it's a minor head ache then I just ignore it :)tofu-lion91

Sorry, but I never had a headache in my whole life. not once for no reason. but only if I drank a real big jock of Coke then I would get a headache from it.

Of course.

isn't talking about drugs against the rules here? A pain reliever is a drug.

Never. If I have pain, I grin and bear it. Unless it is so excruciating that I cannot stay conscious, I do no medicate when I don't need to. I usually take an advil or two when I feel a fever coming on (as a preventative) or when I have a fever and don't want it to get more serious.

Medicating for every little problem lowers our body's capability of fending for itself.

There comes a point when chronic pain, while bearable, becomes debilitating and where pain medication is very justifiable. If you're talking about pain that doesn't last for a long time, I agree, but when it's constant it really drains and tires you out.

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

What? aint it kinda too much there?

2-3 pills a day is no reason to worry. 5 pills a day is bordering on being harmful to the liver due to the paracetamol (aka Tylenol, etc) included with the hydrocodone (narcotic). Mixed together they become Vicodin. My daily intake is really not that heavy of a dose at all. I used to be on 180 mg of Oxycontin daily, now you wanna talk about a kick in the pants.....that drug is flat out brutal in its effectiveness, addictive beyond belief and hard as hell to get off of.
