Painkillers (hydrocodone, morphine, endorphines) simply stop the pain. The endorphines that your body produces in response to pain act on the central nervous system by blocking the pain signal on its way to your brain. (They kill the pain response like a kill switch on an engine cuts off the fuel supply.) basically in painkillers there is things specifically made for them to go to the place it may run through your whole body and make all the pain go away and it will significantly help you .

dihydrocideine is a *Very* strong oral painkiller. One of the strongest, in fact. It should not make the pain worse on it's own unless you are having side effects.
