Brief Answer:
pain killers may not be necessary if you can bear
Detailed Answer:
welcome to hcm,
Pain killers may not be necessary for a patient who is already on treatment for his pain. The treating doctor might have prescribed the pain killers for him.
There are different type of analgestics used for different category of pain. Though all these pain killers except some has side effects, their releiving of the pain is most important in treating the disease.
If the patient could bear the pain then also some may need pain killers to reduce the pain for getting a good sleep without interference. if the pain is constant the patient will not get sleep though the pain is tolerable, so depending upon the nature of the disease pain killers are prescribed to the patient.
i would like to know the patients present condition and his diagnosis and his medications he is taking, with proper history of the patient before interpretting about the pain killers for him.
Unnecessary use of pain killers must be generally avoided if pain is bearable.

I am suffering with pain at my right knee. Doctor advised me to use pain killer tablets (ACE PROXYVAN CR TABS), do QUAD exercises and to reduce my weight from 81 kgs to at least 70 kgs ( my height is 5'4"). I am doing QUAD exercises as suggested by the physio therapist and trying to reduce my weight with balanced diet and exercises.There is some improvement. I am now able to bear the pain. I am afraid that by consuming pain killers I may not know the pain and damage the bones of the knee by using them normally and carelessly. Hence I propose not to consume the above pain killer medicine. It is not clear whether my dout and proposal not to consume pain killer is in order
