the pain is in so that it can make you feel better?...and what happens if a man takes a midol...does it just sort of float around looking for something that isnt there?

what happens after you swallow a pain reliever? It doesn't go directly to your shin or head, even though that's the spot that hurts so much. Pain relievers work with your cells, your body's nerve endings, your nervous system, and your brain to keep you from feeling the pain.
When you take some pain relievers like ibuprofen, it keeps injured or damaged cells from making and releasing prostaglandin. When the cells don't release this chemical, it means that the brain won't get the pain message as quickly or clearly. So your pain goes away or becomes less severe for as long as the cells aren't releasing the chemical.
Your body is full of nerve endings in your skin and tissues. Some of these nerve endings can sense painWhen cells in your body are injured or damaged, they release a chemical called prostaglandin.
special nerve endings that sense pain are very sensitive to this chemical. When prostaglandin is released, the nerve endings respond to it by picking up and transmitting the pain and injury messages through the nervous system to the brain. They tell the brain everything about the pain, like where it is and how much it hurts. The brain then responds:

I used to take midol for my work related injuries. It started out with being the only thing there was in the house, and all it took was that one time for it to work better than anything else I've ever taken!
[Of course it may very well be a good explanation for various sexual side effects- dammit, I never thought of that 'till just now!]
I'm sure it was fine and it did work quite well.

It goes to every part of your body, and therefore all the parts that hurt are relieved (while the parts of your body that don't need it are also affected).
Most medicines are like sledgehammers in that they can't really be targeted straight to anywhere in particular. Anti-biotics, for instance will kill the good bacteria with the bad ones.
Generally, you should avoid over-using any medicine.
Midol contains a painkiller, caffeine and a diuretic, so these will act on men also.

Hmmm....I never thought about what happened if a guy took Midol. That is an interesting thought. I will have to see if I can give my brother some by "accident".............

Tylenol and pain relievers thin your blood and make it easier to pass through constricted vessels thus relieving the pain.
