A member asked:

What is a good prescription pain medicine for chronic back pain?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Opioid: Opioid medication can help, but be very careful. These can be highly addicting.

Back pain: Without a full evaluation it's impossible to tell you if there is a good prescription med. It may be that you may do fine with conservative treatment . The point is- not every pain back or anywhere else necessitates a prescription pain med.
