Reading this thread, I kinda feel weird.

When I was a child, I use to take tablets for headache (no idea which ones. I was a child.) and almost every time, the headache came back more intense than before, when the effect wore off.

Later, I started understanding that headaches (and other pains) happen for a reason and it is better to find out the reason and fix it, than just turn off the alarm.

So now, even if I get hurt due to something, I say no to pain relievers. This has even saved me from re-injuring a previous injury a few times.

  • Sprained ankle / back pain : exercise and yoga.
  • Cramps from exercise: next time do proper stretching after exercise.
  • menstruation: I have no idea. never had that. sorry. But I can say for sure, people around me don't tend to resort to taking pills all the time. Even those that have it hard.
  • broke a ligament: definitely don't take a pill, or you won't realise if you are about to break it again.

Over here, pain management pills seems more like a last resort and not to be used for something that happens regularly. So, reading about it being treated like cereal, feels pretty weird.

I have a bit of an alternative, I used to get headaches a lot as a child, the meds absolutely helped as usually I'd take them so I could sleep it off, which almost always did clear it up.

I'm not sure why I was so frequently having headaches, but it definitely dropped off a lot once I moved out and started my own life, now it's only maybe once or twice a month.
