Do you easily take painkillers?

Recently I took a lot of painkillers. Named Acemiz S for swelling and the pains.

i try not to unless it become intolerable. i have too much to do to be all doped up.

Luckily I have seldom had the need for painkillers. But for a headache or backache, if it gets bad I'll take an OTC pain reliever like ibuprofen. The last time I took a painkiller was 10-12 years ago when I broke my elbow. The doctor gave me a prescription, I only needed to take a few of them, I wasn't in constant pain, and most of the time it wasn't so bad that I needed to take them. Last April I was in the ER and the doctor wanted to give me a painkiller (shot) before performing a cardiac catheterization through my wrist. I asked what the medication was, he said it was an opioid. I refused and asked if there was something else I could take, he told me valium so I opted for that.

As much as possible, I won't go for it. if it is so extreme pain, then I can take some painkillers.

I do not take any pain killers at all. Just aspirin for headaches.

I have backpain but I dont take painkillers. I call for a massage therapy. Last time I took painkillers was when I got my tooth extracted.

I do not like taking pills unless recommended by the doctor. If any pain becomes unbearable then may be I would take one tablet. But if I feel the need of taking a second one then I prefer visiting the doctor.

I'm same like you..it is best to avoid it as much as possible

I think it's really depends on the person and his pain threshold.. I usually trying not to take painkillers, but sometimes, when i have migraine or something very painful i take.
