Introduction to pain management
Pain management can be simple or complex, depending on the cause of the pain. An example of pain that is typically less complex would be nerve root irritation from a herniated disc with pain radiating down the leg. This condition can often be alleviated with an epidural steroid injection and physical therapy. Sometimes, however, the pain does not go away. This can require a wide variety of skills and techniques to treat the pain. These skills and techniques include:
- Interventional procedures
- Medication management
- Physical therapy or chiropractic therapy
- Psychological counseling and support
- Acupuncture and other alternative therapies; and
- Referral to other medical specialists
All of these skills and services are necessary because pain can involve many aspects of a person's daily life.

Roxanol (Morphine sulfate) is a highly concentrated solution of the narcotic analgesic morphine sulfate for oral administration. It is used for the treatment of severe, chronic pain. Side effects can include constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, anxiety, or sleep problems. Other side effects may also occur.
It is not known whether morphine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman, so morphine should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Morphine readily crosses the placental barrier and if administered during labor, may lead to respiratory depression in the neonate. Morphine has been detected in human milk. For this reason, caution should be exercised when morphine is administered to a nursing woman.
