Ed, codeine just transfers the pain from wherever to your gut. The pain you get rid of (at best) for a little while and the pain from my gut will last longer than that
>NSAIDs are often useful though. If I was in a lot of pain, I would take an NSAID.What if the pain is continuous? Not so useful then. About as useful as a hole in the gut. Typical pharmaceutical products. They had better 2,000 years ago (Frankinsence).
