Brief Answer:
Hi, controlling pain is multifaceted.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX thanks for asking. Pain control is a serious issue in today's medicine. As you mentioned, it is not possible to control it sometimes with just medication which aim the pain. Sometimes, controlling mood problems and anxiety issues, if there is any concomittant issues can help. Controlling the effect that back pain could have on your sleep is also important. Some people who have back problems will also have restless legs that can affect their sleep. It should also be treated. Let me know if you have any question. I wish you a good health.
