Pain is a warning signal, an alarm that goes off when your body is trying to tell you something is wrong and is out of balance. Most people experience significant pain at some point during their lives-whether it is from an injury, illness or unknown cause.
No one should have to live with pain, but how do you know which treatment is right for you? Often times, people suffering from pain take medication to dull the pain. Taking medication is understandable when pain is constant and unbearable.
Pain medication may help dull the symptoms for a short period of time, but it will not get at the root of the problem and correct it. Unless the cause of the pain is treated , your body will continue to produce symptoms and keep alerting you something is wrong.
Eventually the pain may get worst or become chronic. It is also possible certain medications may cause side effects that further compromise your health.
