See your doctor: for medication evaluation and adjustment. A general rule, any analgesic regimen should include a nonopioid drug even if the pain is severe enough to require the addition of an opioid. Not only is self-administration likely to lead to ineffective pain relief, it may also cause a dependency problem.
