Pain is my friend. It warns me when something is wrong. I've never had more pain than I could handle.
I refused painkillers all my life because I don't want to lose control to a dependency.
I'll occasionally get headaches that are at least partly caused by tension in my neck. The more it hurts the more my neck tightens up, and it hurts more. Treating the symptom by taking a couple of ibuprofen actually makes the headache go away faster. I obviously don't want to depend on it, but in moderation it can be a valuable tool. |
