Q: Let your doctor know of any pain that you are currently experiencing. They may be able to prescribe a medication or recommend a pain killer. Furthermore, they will inform you about any medications that might interfere with your current treatment. You can easily buy over-the-counter medicines to manage your daily pain. These OTC medications include Acetaminophen (Tylenol) as well as NSAIDs, a popular class of anti-inflammatory drugs that help block the pain receptors in your brain from receiving pain signals. NSAIDs are usually recommended for bone or muscle pain, because they reduce the inflammation and swelling that can put pressure on the affected body part. NSAIDs are available in tablets, injections, liquids, suppositories, and topical creams. NSAIDs include Ibuprofen (Advil) and Sodium Naproxen (Aleve). Do not take NSAIDs if you suffer from a gastrointestinal disorder, peptic ulcers, or are taking blood thinners unless directed to do so by your doctor. If Acetaminophen and NSAIDs don't effectively manage your pain, you may ask your doctor for a prescription to receive stronger painkillers. Opioid painkillers such as Codeine and Tramadol can help to manage moderate pain, but something stronger like Morphine may be necessary for severe pain. Your oncologist is the only person who can determine what medicine is suitable to manage your pain, so don't try to self-prescribe. Note that opioid pain medications often cause constipation as a side effect. Therefore, if your doctor begins you on these medications, he or she will likely also put you on an appropriate bowel regimen as well. It is easier to prevent bowel problems by treating them before they arise, rather than waiting until after the fact. Your doctor will give you a moderate painkiller first, then gradually move you to stronger or higher doses according to your pain state as well as your response to the medication. Note that you will need to be monitored when using Morphine, because it has the potential for side effects. Morphine is available in many dosage forms, such as: Sustained release tablets, to be taken once or twice daily. Immediate release tablets or liquid, to be taken every 2 to 4 hours. Injections to be given directly or through a drip in a hospital. Subcutaneous injections. Dissolved tablets under the tongue. Patches stuck directly to the skin. Morphine can cause constipation, dry mouth, and itching or blurred vision. It is very important that you take all your medications as instructed by your doctor, even if you don't feel like you need them immediately. This is because skipping any of your doses can result in a sudden worsening of pain. Pain is best treated by getting to a level where you can prevent it before it becomes overwhelming. If you felt pain before your next scheduled dose of medication, ask your doctor to increase your dose or to change the dosage form you're taking. If you have sudden breakthrough pain, take a breakthrough painkiller pill (your doctor will instruct you which ones to take in such situations). Antidepressants have a positive effect in controlling the burning or prickling sensation caused by neuropathic pain. These medications can also be useful in treating the depression that may accompany your fight against cancer. Examples of antidepressants include Fluoxetine (Prozac) and Sertraline (Lustral). Side effects can include dry mouth or drowsiness. Anti-convulsants such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) can also be used to treat nerve-related pain. This requires a prescription from your doctor. Local anesthetics can be useful in certain cases of localized pain, such as mouth ulcers. Local anesthetics are commonly found as gel formulas, such as Orabase. These gels form a protective layer on the ulcer that insulates it from painful sensations. Getting an epidural anesthetic can treat severe back pain by directly injecting medication into your spine. It is important to remember that undergoing treatments such as surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy to shrink the size of your tumor will in itself decrease your pain. For instance, many people who have incurable cancer (such as men with prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bones) continue to receive treatment (in this case, that shrinks the size of their bone metastases). This, in turn, decreases the amount of pain they feel (in this case, it reduces bone pain). It can wind up being one of the most effective strategies of pain management, even though the treatment itself is aimed at the symptoms rather than being aimed at actually curing the cancer.
A: Visit your doctor. Use an over-the-counter painkiller to manage mild pain. Get moderate opioid painkillers to address moderate pain. Talk to your doctor about getting Morphine treatment for severe pain. Adhere to the therapy plan written by your doctor. Take antidepressants to reduce neuropathic pain (pain caused by damage to nerve tissue). Get a prescription for an anti-convulsant. Use local anesthetics to treat specific pain sites. Treat the cancer itself.

Article: Chairs are a great option because their backs provide a high fort ceiling. Position the rows in front of a sofa, bed, or wall if you want the fort to be enclosed on the back side. Space the rows of chairs about 4 to 6ft (1.2 to 1.8m) apart depending on the size of your blanket. If you don't have chairs to support your fort, see what other sturdy items are in the room. Laundry hampers, ottomans, and boxes can serve as fort building materials. Place the items side-by-side if you need to use multiple pieces to create the fort. You can use furniture of different heights to create high and low places in the fort, which makes it extra fun to crawl around inside. Make sure to choose furniture items that are tall enough so you will be able to crawl or sit under the blankets in the fort. Fold a comforter in half and lay it down or layer a few blankets to add cushioning to the bottom the fort. Then, place several cushions or pillows around the edges of the fort. You can also place extra blankets or sleeping bags in the fort to cover yourself up. If the ceiling of your fort is high enough, you could even place a few low chairs or stools in the fort, such as bean bag chairs or ottomans. Drape a large sheet or blanket over the top of the fort so that it goes over the edges of the furniture. Pull the blanket or sheet taut so that it is not drooping down in the center of the fort's ceiling. Layer more than 1 sheet or blanket over the furniture to provide a darker environment inside of the fort. Use a light-colored sheets to allow some light into the inside of the fort, or use a dark-colored sheet or blanket to make it darker in the fort. The edges of the blanket will eventually slip off the furniture if you do not weigh them down. Grab a few books or other heavy objects and place them on the edges of the blanket. Clothes pins may be enough to secure the edges of a sheet on some types of furniture. For example, if you are using a couch as part of your fort base, then clip the sheet edge to the fabric on the couch using a clothes pin. Propping large pillows or couch cushions against the fort's framework can also help to secure the blankets.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make 2 rows of chairs with the backs facing each other. Place blankets and pillows on the floor of the fort to make it comfortable. Drape a sheet or blanket over the furniture pieces. Secure the blankets with heavy objects or clothespins.
