How would you define pain? Anyone at any age has ever experienced physical discomfort of a different nature, be it muscular, derived from the digestive system, neurological …
According to María Isabel Martín Fontelles, –doctor, doctor in Medicine and Surgery and professor of Pharmacology, expert in pain medicine–: “Pain is a sensation that practically any animal can perceive, and it serves as a warning against any internal or external injury. It is a danger information system that is also loaded with emotional content ”.
As much as we are all familiar with pain, the complexity in the ways of treating it requires some knowledge. Not all pain is the same, and there are also different ways of dealing with them: “There are a wide variety of drugs and many ways to treat pain, and they have the great advantage of being able to be combined with each other with lower doses of each of them to adopt in different sites. But these combinations are complex and should never be done without the supervision of a professional ”, explains Martín Fontelles.
All drugs can have side effects, and some are sold freely in pharmacies. For this reason, as the doctor explains: “Self-medication is one of the most frequent mistakes we make.”
“It is also a mistake not to medicate and let the pain pass, because it must be treated as soon as possible,” he continues. “However, any of these decisions must be made with the follow-up of a professional.”
