MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
The goal of pain modifying medications is to allow you to get active, to improve your physical function, mood, sleep and your ability to manage your pain.
There are various kinds or categories of medications that are used in the management of chronic pain management.
Sometimes your doctor may advise combining medicines. This is because different drugs work on different places in your body and in different ways. Combining drugs can mean you require lower doses of each, with less risk of side effects while ensuring pain relief.
