Or does the pain continue to be overwhelming?

I guess that would depend on the severity of the injury. IEDs are not some sort of magical device, they're just crude explosives that primarily injure through shrapnel. If someone is hit with one piece in a fleshy area, the pain would be minor once the wound was treated. If they were hit with multiple pieces in their torso, then the pain could be quite severe, even after surgery.

there is no simple and or easy answer to this question.an improvised explosive device is quite simply stated a home made bomb.there are shrapnel injuries,concussive injuries and burns depending on how it is manufactured and distance from ground zero.serious burn injuries are some of the most painful you could possibly imagine and the pain is almost impossible to treat without leaving the victim basically unconscious from the levels of medication ( usually morphine) . shrapnel injuries can range from minor wounds to dismemberments which sometimes leave the victims with phantom pains in limbs that no longer even exist.and concussive injuries exist in varieties almost impossible to believe.so the easy answer which is'nt really an answer is yes all pain can be "masked" but is leaving the victim unable to function "managing" the pain or not it would depend on ones own views.but yes generally most pain caused by anything can be relieved,but the most important question is what is the quality of life afterwards for the injured.....thats the simplest answer i can come up with.but i'm sure plenty of simple minded people will jump in with stupid politically oriented "answers" or more simply stated (BULL****)

It quite depends on the person and the injury. An IED injury is no more unique then any other injury and can range from total paralyses, loss of hearing, lass of vision, loss proper brain function or loss of one ore more limbs to anything as simple as a scratch or a broken fingernail depending completely upon how close the person was to the IED and how lucky they are.

The vagueness of your answer is comparable to asking the same question as if a car accident were the cause of injury. There are some questions that are answerable on Yahoo Answers and some that no stranger you met five minutes ago on the internet can possibly answer without further information and perhaps an advanced medical degree.

While you think about that, remember to say thanks to the men and women who risk that IED exposure daily and to remember at election time the men who sent them over there out of greed and with apparent disregard for human suffering.

Not every injury suffered from an IED causes physical pain. Sure it is a part of the wounds, but there can be emotional damage that is harder to treat with medication.

For the most part though, the IED attack causes physical damage from flying bits of shrapnel and these wounds like any other laceration, fracture or contusion can usually be treated adequately with medication. Each wound is different and each persons pain threshold is unique to that person. There is no way that this question can be fully answered or explained.

While you think about that, remember to say thanks to the men and women who risk that IED exposure daily to help implement a new freedom for those people.

No matter what kind of IED it is, it will still scare the **** out of you. You can't prepare for stuff like that, like being in a truck and hearing a explosion, asking the other trucks what happened, dismounting. All kinds of stuff happens and an injury received from an IED never fully heals.
