I am suffering from arthritis and because of it I must take medications almost constantly. The most used medications are, off course, painkillers. My wife keeps telling me that it is not safe to use painkillers that much. I disagree. Is she or am I right? Can any damage occur from painkillers?
I am so sorry to tell you that your wife is right. There are several possibilities for damaging your internal organ by using big amounts of painkillers. Some of them are: damage to your stomach (meaning ulcer), damage to your small intestine, damage to your liver and a possibility for heart attack. I hope that you will find this helpful enough.
