Brief Answer:
Excess pain killers can have lots of side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Good to hear that you are better now.
As for pain killers. Excess pain killers are bad for the kidney and liver. Specially the drugs called NSAIDs like Voveran, Brufen and Diclofenac. They can also lead to Peptic ulcers. So please avoid excess of these drugs. The safer pain killers would be Tramadol and Paracetamol which can be taken upto three times a day.
I hope this answers your question and wish you a fast and happy recovery.
Take care.
