Can fibromyalgia pain require narcotic pain medication?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes....but: Opioids are not a first line treatment for fibromyalgia. There are multiple excellent medications which work to quiet the "irritated" nerves.

Rarely: Opioids are a last resort and are only considered an option if all traditional medications have failed.
