It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate pain relief method for your specific situation.
Pain medication does typically offer temporary relief in pain. Most people in pain still live with some level of pain even when given pain medications. Yet, these medications can offer some relief to ongoing chronic pain. But in the USA in particular, doctors are wary of giving adequate medications to control pain, even if the pain is acute such as after surgery. Most physicians believe acute pain should be gone within 1 week. Pain that lasts more than 6 months is deemed to be chronic pain. In many situations, doctors even refuse to prescribe narcotics for cancer pain, even though the patient may be "terminal" and only have weeks to days to live. The resistance to prescribing medications is two-fold in the USA: 1. Doctors fear creating addictions, and 2. Doctors fear the DEA.

Alternative treatments such as massage and acupuncture have also proven to be helpful to some patients.
