Some painkillers affect people differently. For example, after a few doses of Percoset I stopped taking them because of unpredictable side effects. Hydrocodone was far more predictable but I also only took a few. I am like Dan, would rather tough it out.
Pain medication is supposed to reduce, not eliminate pain, right? I think a lot of people think pain medication should eliminate pain of any sort.
