Hi,
Frankly speaking, I would like to avoid painkillers as much as possible. There is no fixed criteria about damaging your body, it will depend on your body characteristics and dosage. For a few days it may not damage but for a longer duration, will make you dependent on it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon
