Pain Relief Information - Pain Relief Drugs And Treatments
Pain is a signal from our body that something is not right. Pain can be due to physical injury, some kind of disease or emotional upset. Most types of physical pain can be treated with pain relievers. Analgesics such as acetaminophen or paracetamol are for mild or moderate pain, and can also reduce temperature in fevers. Narcotic analgesics such as codeine can be used alone or in combination with other analgesics for stronger pain such as dental pain, period pain or migraines. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including aspirin) are used to reduce pain associated with inflammation such as sports injuries and can also relieve fever.
Acute pain is the body's alarm system. It signals that something is wrong. It signals that you are in danger of injury or that the injured part needs to be protected and rested.
Chronic pain serves no useful purpose and may cause disability and distress to sufferers and their families. Estimates of the number of people with chronic pain vary from 8% to 45% depending on severity and whether medical help is sought. Chronic pain is more common in women and in the elderly. Many types of chronic pain have been identified. However some people with chronic pain do not have a diagnosis from their doctor.
