Hi and thanks for the query,

There are pain killers that could be used to gain some relief. However, these drugs used be used with the consent of your doctor, for some of them might present some drug interactions with the medications you are taking, or present with some side effects that might be well explained to you by your doctor from the very beginning.

It might be necessary to take an appointment with your doctor to present the case to him with respect to the pain. Persistent pain might be due to spread of the cancer, inadequate response to treatment, or at times deserves that the treatment options be reconsidered and adjusted.

For now, I would suggest simple analgesics generally not associated with many side effects as you await to be treated by your doctor. Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen could be appropriate for a start. stronger or more potent drugs like opiates and morphines might require careful considerations by your physician before prescription. You might consult your emergency room too if you receive inadequate response from acetaminophen , not more than 3000mg daily and Ibuprofen, not more than 1600mg.You might contact the emergency room physician or your family physician for a rapid clinical review and prescription of these drugs as you wait to see your specialist.

I suggest you book an appointment with your physician for reevaluation and further management.

Thanks and hope this helps and do not hesitate asking further questions if you need some help. Wishing you good health,

Bain LE, MD.
