The very well kwon side effects of analgesic is renal toxicity and you might be knowing that, if taken for a longer duration of time then this drug causes kidney problem, as long as pain is concer that is all depends upon the tendency of the patients to bare the pain if the pain is well tolerated by the patients then there is no need to take any analgesic so better to tolerate the pain, have nice day.
