When you feel pain, your nerves send pain signals to your brain. Painkillers work by reducing these signals or blocking the chemicals that make your pain receptors more sensitive.
But here’s the catch: consistent use of some pain medications, especially opioids, can make your nervous system adapt. Over time, you may develop tolerance, meaning the same dose may not provide the same relief.
So, pain medication isn't something to take casually. Use it correctly, and always follow medical advice.
