At part of a pain: Control program, perhaps. Opioids should virtually never be the sole response to chronic pain. Neuropathic pain may respond to other treatments like gabapentin, Gabitril (tiagabine) and tricyclic antidepressants in low doses. Hormonal treatment may improve pelvic pain, myomectomy stop fibroid related problems. Opioids produce physical dependency, may cause rebound pain (hyperalgesia) and addiction in some.
