Suggest Medication For Pain At The Pectoral Region Under Arms

I have non hotgkins lymphoma and am in pain at the moment. My cancer is located at the top part of my body in the pectoral region and under my arms as well as neck. I just took 800 mg of ibuprophen within the last 30 minutes. There is no relief. The pain seems to have gotten worse. I do have a prescription for oxycondone 5 mg but am hisitant to take it having just taken the 800 mg of ibuprophen. What would you recommend?

The pain that you have may be related to the cancer that you have or to the drugs that must have been given for it. Either way, only pain killers are going to help. You can take Tab. Tramadol 1 tab thrice daily after meals. If that also doesnt help then you can take the oxycodone.
