Hello, Michelle! How are you? What medications have you tried and what advice has your doctor provided?

Proper treatment to alleviate your pain really depends on the severity of your pain, your overall health, other medications you may be taking, and other factors, according to the NIH.

Opiates might help, though the FDA warns that they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
