What Causes Persistent Back Pain Despite Taking Medication?
Brief Answer:
you can also take opioids...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
steroids and naproxen have to be for back pain, right? If that's the case, you can augment the efficacy of the analgesics by adding paracetamol with codeine or any other opioid. These drugs combined, besides their own effect against pain, they potentiate the effects of other analgesics. Sometimes the pain is difficult to manage though, so if the diagnosis is certain, you'll have to be patient.
Kind Regards!
