Going slightly off topic but the nature of pain killers is a problematic one and one of the reasons some people use sedatives like Cannabis.

Pain killers basically take away the pain. Once the pain is gone, you do more therefore you aggravate the injury. I know some pain killers have anti-inflammatory properties but once the inflammation has gone this can also aggravate an injury.

So what happens? You need the pain killers again.

A sedative like Cannabis, basically makes you numb and switches you off.

Until there isn't a solution for these things then we can't really move on from the state of pain killers.

You can manage pain in other ways but a lot of people aren't susceptible to other forms of pain relief.
