Statistics show that teen available without a prescription. You may also turn to prescription pain medications, sometimes referred to as opioids, that are designed to manage moderate to severe pain. Other prescription medications like steroids, muscle relaxants, antidepressants and anticonvulsants can also help manage your persistent pain. Prescription pain-medications can be very effective when used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. However, some can be habit-forming, addictive, and lead to an overdose if abused or used incorrectly.

Non-drug therapies can be used as alternatives or alongside your pain medications to relieve your pain and can include mindbody exercises like yoga and meditation, acupuncture or massage, regular exercise routines and physical therapy, and even pain-management devices.

You should talk with your healthcare provider about developing a pain-management plan that sets goals like spending more time with family, getting back to hobbies, exercising more, and managing pain while healing. It should also include a review of all medications, non-drug therapies, and other interventions you are using or thinking of using to manage your pain.
