What pain medication can my mom use if she has cervical cancer?

Depends on the pain: If over the counter medications, such as tylenol (acetaminophen) motri (ibuprofen) provide relief, it is okay to take these. If pain is not relieved by these, she should consult her doctor for more potent pain killers, such as opioids. Patients with cancer often suffer needlessly for fear for addiction.

Cervical cancer: It depends on the amount and intensity of pain. Often, cervical cancer causes very intense pain due to the anatomic locations. Commonly, we use a combination of long acting and short acting narcotics.
