What can be done if i need a long-term painkiller and i'm allergic to less addictive substitutes?

Pain management : I am assuming that you are referring to Opioids or Narcotics when you mention addictive drugs. Research actually shows that they tend to be poor choices for chronic pain or for long term pain management (except cancer pain). Consult a Pain Management Center and I am sure there is a better option for your symptoms.
