Injury pain doesn’t always go away quickly. Sometimes, weeks or even months after a sprain, fracture, or trauma, pain can still be there. This kind of long-lasting pain can stop you from doing daily things like walking, sleeping, or working.
In this blog, we’ll talk about why injury pain can stick around and how a medicine like Aspadol might help manage it.
What Is Injury Pain?
Injury pain happens when your body is hurt—like with a fall, twist, or impact. This includes:
Sprains (stretched or torn ligaments)
Fractures (broken bones)
Trauma (like car accidents or sports injuries)
Usually, the pain goes down as the body heals. But sometimes, pain stays longer than expected. If it lasts more than 3 months, it is called chronic injury pain.
Why Does Injury Pain Last So Long?
Pain that doesn’t go away after the injury heals can have different reasons:
Nerve Involvement
If nerves were damaged during the injury, they may keep sending pain signals even after the area looks healed.
Inflammation
Swelling inside tissues or joints can linger, especially if you keep using the area too soon.
Poor Healing
If a bone or ligament didn’t heal right, pain may continue when you move or put pressure on it.
Muscle Imbalance or Stiffness
Injuries can affect how you walk or move, which puts stress on other muscles or joints.
Mental Stress
Pain can get worse when you’re anxious or afraid of movement. This creates a cycle where you move less and hurt more.
Common Treatments for Injury Pain
Doctors often start with simple treatments like:
Rest and Ice
Physical therapy
Over-the-counter painkillers (like ibuprofen)
But when these don’t help enough—especially for long-term pain—your doctor may suggest stronger options like Aspadol.
What Is Aspadol?
Aspadol 100mg is a pain relief medicine that contains Tapentadol. It is used to treat moderate to severe pain, especially when other pain relievers are not enough.
Aspadol works in two ways:
Blocks pain signals in the brain
Reduces how the body reacts to pain
This makes it helpful for people with long-lasting injury pain who are struggling to move or sleep.
How Aspadol Helps with Injury Pain
Let’s look at how Aspadol may help when you're dealing with pain after an injury:
1. Relieves Moderate to Severe Pain
If your injury pain is sharp, deep, or constant, Aspadol can help reduce its intensity.
2. Improves Movement
When pain goes down, it’s easier to stretch, walk, or do exercises. This helps your injury heal better and avoids stiffness.
3. Helps You Sleep
Chronic pain often disrupts sleep. By calming down pain signals, Aspadol can help you get more rest, which also helps recovery.
4. May Reduce the Need for Multiple Drugs
Because Aspadol works in two ways (pain blocker and pain reducer), some people may not need to take several different medicines.
Who Might Be Given Aspadol for Injury Pain?
Doctors may prescribe Aspadol if:
You’ve had an injury and pain lasts more than a few weeks
Basic painkillers no longer help
You’re having trouble with daily tasks due to pain
You’re recovering from a fracture, sprain, or surgery
Aspadol is not usually the first choice. It’s used when other treatments don’t work or when pain is severe.
Forms and Dosage
Aspadol comes in different forms like:
Aspadol 50 mg – usually for short-term, moderate pain
Aspadol 100 mg – for more severe or ongoing pain
Aspadol ER (Extended Release) – for chronic pain that needs long-lasting relief
The dose and type depend on your condition, age, and medical history.
Safety Tips for Using Aspadol
Aspadol is a strong medicine. It should be used carefully:
Follow your doctor’s instructions exactly
Do not take with alcohol or other sedatives
Do not drive or use heavy machines until you know how it affects you
Watch for side effects like dizziness, nausea, or drowsiness
Avoid stopping suddenly without a doctor’s advice
When to Talk to a Doctor
If you’ve had an injury and still feel pain after a few weeks or months, don’t ignore it. Talk to your doctor if:
Pain is stopping you from sleeping or moving
You need painkillers often
You feel depressed or anxious because of the pain
You’re unsure if the injury has fully healed
Your doctor can check if Aspadol or another treatment is right for you.
Final Thoughts
Injury pain that lasts can affect every part of your life. If rest, therapy, and regular painkillers haven’t helped, Aspadol may offer stronger relief. It works by changing how your brain senses pain, so you can move better, sleep better, and get back to your daily life.
But it’s not a cure—it’s a tool to help you heal. Use it with medical guidance and as part of a full recovery plan.
