yeah sometimes poo poo just gets better on it's own the net result is the science behind physiotherapy and surgeries is actually pretty loving lacking sometimes too though it's neat af that they do fake surgeries on people to do double-blind studies of surgical procedures

also sometimes pain is just "in your head" and i don't mean that in a dismissive, patronizing way. the pain is real, but the underlying cause might just be an oversensitized nervous system. but there's no test to really confirm this is the case, it's the absence of a physical cause that tends to suggest it so then sometimes you'll think that was the issue and go through a million doctors and specialists and one day someone finds a benign tumour pressing on a nerve and cuts it out and bam, pain gone all of these issues increase in likelihood as you age

Broken Machine posted:i had someone say they thought life was pain. i don't agree with that, but pain is an inherent part of life and it would be difficult / impossible to have pleasure without it people that experience no physical pain don't exactly live long and happy lives but i think some people have lives that are just wall to wall pain and that sucks too

Broken Machine posted:i think they meant existential rather than physical pain i took it to mean both, since they're often connected. people that don't feel physical pain also often don't feel fear and a bunch of other emotions. this poo poo's all related i think.

source? they did lower it from 4 to 3 (max 1g every 6 hrs) in a lot of countries but that’s because they underestimated how much alcohol lowers your tolerance

mystes posted:Maybe it won't kill you but acetaminophen is a really bad drug to gently caress around with so I'm inclined to side with nbsd on this one. overdosing on acetaminophen will absolutely kill you, in an extremely painful and drawn out way. always pay attention to other drugs you take because acetaminophen is added to all sorts of other drugs. i've been working with my doctor on pain relief for over two years now, this isn't something i'm doing out of the blue or on my own. last year my doc said i can take acetaminophen long term, but i should never exceed 3g per day or 1g per 6 hr period, and i should only take it based on need (i should have written "i now take up to 3g per day" to make that more clear - i'm not literally taking 21g per week). i don't tolerate nsaids anymore (ibuprofen, naproxen, topical voltaren, and even enteric coated diclofenac all cause issues). my having to stop taking ibuprofen or naproxen is what pushed me to go to the dr in the first place, we tried voltaren and diclofenac and those had the same side effects. tramadol and codeine work well but I want to avoid these because opioids are associated with an increased risk of premature death (more than nsaids or acetaminophen), even mild ones like tramadol. the formulations I tried had me taking up to 2.4g of acetaminophen per day too so lol if i'm going to take that when acetaminophen alone takes away enough of my pain. oxycodone does nothing for me, which is weird because i respond really well to codeine and morphine vOv so we're going with acetaminophen (plus lifestyle changes) for now. probably the shittiest part of getting older is the universe starts throwing you situations where you really can't win, you just chose the least-bad option.

eschaton posted:move someplace mushrooms are legal then you can use that for pain relief weed is good for this but i can’t drive and work stoned pain really is mostly in the mind which makes it crazy how you can relieve it to a degree with mindfulness techniques. hell, just learning about pain science can influence the degree you feel it.
