Pain Medication and Liver Damage

     Pain medication is one of the greatest discoveries that has helped an endless amount of sufferers.
People who have been in an accident and are suffering in pain due to damage to their bodies are now relieved due to these pain medications. There is a problem however, there is way to much use and abuse of pain medications to the point of dependency.
     If you have constant headaches and are doing pain medications to stop the headache, you are aver using and abusing pain medication, if you have arthritis and are using pain medications, you are using and abusing these medications. Why? Because you are not solving the problem as to why you have arthritis in the first place or why you get head aches. These are health issues that must be addressed or you will eventually do even more damage to yourself in the long run.
     Any pain medication, or most medications for that matter, done longer than a month will cause health problems. A lot of the pain medications will cause liver damage over time, that is why you shouldn't do them on a regular basis. If you are someone who has been doing a lot of medications for a long period of time, you might want to ask yourselves if you have any of the following symptoms:
a fluid build up in the abdomen causing swelling and pain known as ascites or urine changes such as dark yellow to brown colored urine, irritated skin with possible red blotchy patches that itch, constipation or irritable bowel syndrome going from constipation to diarrhea or bloody stools and pale colored stools to thick tar like stools, nausea, wanting to vomit all the time, indigestion with acid reflux, rapid weight loss and a loss of appetite, fluid retention especially in legs, ankles and feet, exhaustion or chronic fatigue, yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin and loss of memory and unable to think quickly or seem to be in a cloud, if you do have any or all of these symptoms see a doctor immediately and have your liver checked out because it's most likely failing.
     If your doctor has you on cholesterol medications, there is damage being done to your liver as you read this. Don't play around with drugs, they are highly dangerous and will cause more problems than they help with, including problems so severe like liver damage that it can eventually cause your death. If you are in pain or have sever headaches find alternative ways to combat these problems, it can be as simple sometimes as something you are eating or drinking that is causing the problem.
     Even over the counter medications such as aspirin can cause ulcers and Tylenol can destroy your liver. No over the counter pain medication is safe to use long term.
