Treatments

Medication forms the starting point for any pain treatment regime. Milder forms of pain may be relieved by over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Both acetaminophen and NSAIDs relieve pain caused by muscle aches and stiffness, and reduce inflammation (swelling and irritation). Topical pain relievers are also available, such as creams, lotions, or sprays that are applied to the skin in order to relieve pain and inflammation from sore muscles and arthritis. If over-the-counter drugs do not provide relief, pain physicians may prescribe stronger medications, such as muscle relaxants or a short course of stronger painkillers (such as codeine, Fentanyl, Percocet, or Vicodin).
