Pain Control

The National Institutes of Health Publication 10-6287, Pain Control: Support for People With Cancer, discusses pain control medicines and other methods to help manage pain, and addresses the physical and emotional effects of pain. Having cancer doesn't mean that you will have pain. But if you do, you can manage most of your pain with medicine and other treatments. This book discusses how to work with your health care team and others to find the best way to control your pain.
