Pain is easier to control when it is mild than when it is severe. Take your pain medication regularly and follow your doctor's or nurse's instructions. Other treatments, such as relaxation and breathing exercises, hot and cold packs may also help and can be used as often as you desire. Remember, it is important to take pain medicine regularly to keep pain under control. No, but sometimes your body may grow accustomed to the medicine.
