When the pain becomes chronic your body's pain signals can be active for weeks, months, even years. The original cause may have been present over a period of time. This accounts for the fact that it has fewer side effects. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen and or with paracetamol can sometimes help, but you must be aware of the risks and warnings associated with pain relief medication. Unfortunately, opioids can also have an emotional toll on a person.
