Or worse yet, you may be feeling none of these right now because your
injury hasn’t started producing these symptoms yet.
Let’s assume you are experiencing some neck pain. How will your
doctor attempt to treat you? He or she’s going to attempt to cover
up your pain with over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and other, more powerful
pain relievers, in my opinion.
These drugs only work by sabotaging your body’s ability to register
pain. They do absolutely nothing to fix the problem causing
the pain. So, while these drugs are sweeping the dirt under
the rug, you’re giving the illusion you’re actually okay.
This is dangerous.
Why?
Accident victims on pain medication are more likely to settle their
case. The insurance companies use this to their advantage so don’t
make hasty decisions while on pain relief medication. It may come
back to haunt you later.
Usually under pain relief medication, you are more likely to worsen
your injury! Your body’s way of telling you that you are making
things worse is pain and, if you do not feel the pain, you may be
aggravating your injury and not even know it! Ever have a sprained
ankle? What happens if you keep walking on it rather than sit it out
for a few days? It hurts more and more. And why? Because you’re
making it worse!
