Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Muscle Relaxants |
|
 Depending on the diagnosis, the first line of defense in pain management may include anti-inflammatory medication. Anti-inflammatory drugs reduce swelling and can help to relieve pain by simply alleviating pressure on the nerves. Although many over-the-counter medications are available, the physician might prescribe a particular medication to suit the patient's individual needs. Sometimes anti-inflammatory and pain medication is supplemented with a muscle relaxant, which may help control spasms from muscles or nerves.
