Pain Relievers (continued)
Tender Points Injections: These are local anesthetic or painkillers that are injected at the tender points to relieve unbearable muscle pain. These injections are temporal and usually last close to a month.
Opioids: Opioids are the least recommended drugs as it can lead to addiction, cause short term side effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, itch and lead to withdrawal symptoms in the long run. They are rarely prescribed and only given for severe pain cases. Some examples of these drugs include Oxycontin, Percocet and Vicodin
