Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Pain: Pain symptoms are to be investigated thoroughly and the root cause should be addressed and treated properly. Pain meds are to be used as a bridge until a solution is found and they are not expected to treat the cause of the pain, but to offer temporary relief.
