Pain Relief

Pain is a signal from our body that something is not right. It can be due to a physical injury, some kind of disease, or emotional upset. Most types of physical pain can be treated with pain relievers.


Analgesics such as acetaminophen or paracetamol are used to treat mild or moderate pain, and can also be used to reduce temperature in fevers. Narcotic analgesics such as codeine can be used alone or in combination with other analgesics for stronger pain, such as dental pain, period pain or migraines. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including aspirin) are used to reduce pain associated with inflammation, such as sports injuries, and can also be used to relieve fever.

Common Pain Medications Pain medications (analgesics) are not all the same. Each pain medication has its advantages and risks. Specific types of pain may respond better to one kind of medication than to another kind. Each person may have a slightly different response to a pain medication.

Over-the-counter medications are good for many types of pain. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is good for relieving pain and fever. It is less irritating to the stomach than other over-the-counter pain medications and is safer for children. It can, however, be toxic to the liver if you take more than the recommended dose.

Aspirin, naproxen (Aleve), and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) are examples of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These reduce inflammation caused by injury, arthritis, or fever. NSAIDs also relieve pain associated with menstruation. Take these medications in regular dosing intervals as directed by the manufacturer until the pain is gone.

However, DO NOT give aspirin to children. Reye's syndrome is associated with the use of aspirin to treat children with viral infections, such as chicken pox. This syndrome can cause brain and liver damage.

If you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, you should consult your health care provider before using any over-the-counter NSAID.

Prescription medications may be needed for other types of pain such as Tramadol, Ultram, or Soma.

There are alternate methods to help reduce pain that may be helpful instead of, or in addition to, pain medications. These include heat for sore or overworked muscles, ice applied to recent injuries (such as a sprained ankle), massage, resting the affected body part, and biofeedback or relaxation techniques.

Consult your doctor if pain lasts longer than a few days, if over-the-counter pain medications are not helping to reduce the pain, or if other symptoms arise. A consultation with a pain clinic or other specialist may be helpful for control of long-term pain.

Tyron Perez Suicide

MANILA, Philippines – Actor Tyron Perez, who was found dead inside a car in Valenzuela City last December 29, committed suicide, according to Valenzuela police.

A SOCO report and crime laboratory results showed that the victim tested positive for gunpowder nitrates on his right hand, police said on Thursday.

The gunshot wound on the right side of the victim’s head revealed that the gun was fired at close range.

The bullet that killed Perez also matched the .22 caliber firearm that was recovered at the crime scene.

Police said there were also no signs of struggling inside the Toyota Altis where Perez’s body was found.

Police said these are indications that Perez shot himself to death. They have also ruled out robbery, saying the actor's belongings were all intact.

Perez’s father Carlito, meanwhile, suspects foul play in the death of his son.

“Sabi ng puso ko, pumasok sa isipan ko, hindi nagpakamatay ang anak ko. Baka may iba, wala tayong nadinig. Hindi ako naniniwalang pinatay niya ang sarili niya,” he said.

According to Perez's friends, the actor had gambling problems as well as marital woes with his wife Liv.

Perez’s remains were laid to rest at the Japanese Cemetery in Concepcion, Tarlac on Thursday morning.

DOJ, DILG want Palparan now, double reward to P1M

One million pesos in cold cash awaits anyone who can furnish the authorities with information that will lead to the capture of retired Major General Jovito Palparan Jr.
“There are good leads in the ongoing search for Palparan, but we want to be very sure. We want this to be over and done with the soonest,” Justice Secretary Leila de Lima told reporters Thursday.
“If we let him continue hiding, the chances of arresting him become slimmer. He may slip out of the country,” she said in Filipino.
De Lima said she and Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo decided to double the reward money to hasten the arrest of the fugitive former military official, who has not been seen in public since he and three others were charged two weeks ago with the kidnapping of University of the Philippines students Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeño.
De Lima said the bounty for Palparan’s arrest was the government’s “complementary move” to the joint manhunt operations of the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation.
PNP Director General Nicanor Bartolome said in an interview there was no information on Palparan’s whereabouts but tracker teams were pursuing the hunt.
Action withheld
De Lima earlier said that Palparan had been sending “feelers” for his surrender, but efforts to actually take him into custody proved futile.
Palparan has been charged with kidnapping and serious illegal detention for his supposed role in the disapperance of Empeño and Cadapan, who have been missing since 2006.
Charged with Palparan are Lt. Col. Felipe Anotado Jr. and M/Sgt. Rizal Hilario of the 7th Infantry Division based in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija province, and S/Sgt. Edgardo Osorio, who was assigned to the Army’s 24th Intelligence and Security Group in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
Anotado and Osorio have surrendered to the authorities. Palparan and Hilario remain at large.
Palparan has been tagged by activists as a “berdugo” (butcher) for his purported role in extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances of activists.
The Bulacan judge handling the kidnapping cases has said she could not act as of now on an omnibus motion filed by Palparan and his coaccused seeking the recall of the arrest warrant and the suspension of the proceedings against them.
Hearing on Feb. 6
In an order released on Monday, Judge Teodora Gonzales of Bulacan Regional Trial Court Branch 14 said the court had no jurisdiction yet over Palparan and Hilario because they have yet to surrender or be arrested.
“Considering that (Palparan and Hilario) are still at large, the court has no jurisdiction over the person of said accused; the court declared that the omnibus motion concerning them will not be acted upon unless they are arrested or they voluntarily surrender,” Gonzales said.
She set for February 6 the next hearing of the case to give parties time to file their respective comments and other pleadings.
Gonzales also asked the lawyers of Anotado and Osorio to comment within 10 days from Monday on the Department of Justice’s motion for the court to reconsider its Dececmber 23 decision transferring them to the military’s custody.
The justice department wants Anotado and Osorio, who were briefly held at the Bulacan provincial jail, detained at the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
Demand for justice
Palparan was last seen in public last December 19 when Bureau of Immigration personnel at Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in the Clark Freeport stopped him from boarding a plane for Singapore, citing his inclusion on the justice department’s watch list.
During Monday’s court hearing, members of a group supporting the families of Empeño and Cadapan gathered in front of the court with placards demanding swift justice for the two missing students.
About 100 members of Desaparecidos (Pamilya ng Desaparecidos para sa Katarungan) appealed to the court to reconsider its decision placing Anotado and Osorio under military custody.
“We believe that they (Anotado and Osorio) should be put in a regular detention facility, without any special treatment,” Concepcion Empeño and Erlinda Cadapan, the mothers of the missing students, said in a joint statement.
“We continue to ask the Filipino nation to join us in the people’s manhunt for Palparan and Hilario. If we let human rights violators walk free, more violations can happen in our country,” they said.
