treat arthritis pain
Narcotic pain releivers commonly used to treat arthritis pain?
In general, drugs are not used to treat arthritis pain. On the one hand, narcotics are addictive and arthritis is a long-term condition requiring constant pain. Secondly, pain Arthritis is usually caused by inflammation in the joints. Anti-inflammatory medications are generally more effective. A lot of people I've spoken to have taken narcotic pain medication for his arthritis pain, have found that "drugs" or have a lot of side effects with minimal pain relief. Some doctors prescribe drugs for patients with acute pain, however. Ultram, although not a narcotic, I think are frequently prescribed for acute pain before strong narcotics.
