Brief Answer:
Morphine

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Morphine is the best drug for pain relief but it cause dependency on the drug so it is not used freely. Also the side effects needs to be weighed against benefits.

It is used only when all other techniques are not working. It should be given only in hospital under guidance of doctor and small doses.
You may discuss with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr Deepika Patil
