    If you don’t have chronoc headaches / migraines, you don’t necessarily have to follow this advice.

    Taking a pill for the slightest pain will be detrimental in the long run for your liver and the painkiller’s efficiency.

      on the contrary if it’s occasional it’s fine, if it’s chronic you have to switch to lighter stuff like weed

      Define “slightest pain”.

      If you’re in occassional discomfort and it’s impacting your wellbeing having an aspirin once in a while is probably not a huge deal.

      If you have recurring pain constantly or frequently then you need medical attention and you should follow that guidance, not what anybody says on the Internet.

        Thank you. People with chronic headaches or migraines are the ones that should not follow this advice, as painkiller-induced headaches are a thing and only make matters worse. Just see a doc.

        As for occasional headaches: It’s going to be a lot easier fixing the issue that lead to a headache once you don’t suffer.
