    Randomly going on a medicine learning tour on youtube. TIL how Ibuprofen & Paracetamol work, the different medical uses of steroids and how to apply compresses correctly. Very random I must say, but oddly enjoyable. Covid bringing the fun out in understanding modern medicine.

      Illusive Prime Hey, no it's fine ^^ It basically means your headache went away because you knew that taking the tablet would make it go away, so psychologically you lost your headache. (it wasn't the actual medicine which did that). I only say this because paracetamol taken orally typically takes at least 15 minutes to start exerting its effect.

    • @louistournas120
      @louistournas120 9 років тому +9

      What do you mean by enhancing the brain?
      The source of the pain would be muscle irritation or some kind of fluid build up somewhere (I imagine). There needs to be a way to deal with that directly rather than blocking prostaglandin production or blocking nerve cells from transmitting.

Other medicines are of course okay, like for very specific problems one may have, but pain is pain, life is nothing but pain plus some good times. Man up and eat the pain. Matter of fact, I'm being very biased.... I broke a couple of ribs a few months ago and that shit was AWFUL. I ate Tramadol like it was candy, but this stabbed thing was nothing. On the other hand, when I broke my ankle, forearm and collar bone, I didn't eat many, maybe a few at the beginning. Of course I didn't break all that at once, different situations.
