Rebecka,There are all kind of pain meds. Please don't think that just because you start on one that you will never get off. Look into some of the milder meds, such as Tramadol.
When you are in pain, all kind of bad things happen. Your muscles get tight, your blood pressure goes up and you set yourself up for the pain to get worse. It is best to treat pain before it gets out of control. Please talk to your Dr. about some kind of pain management.
