I have had intense pain for months. Why won't my doctor keep giving me strong pain medications? The pain is just as bad now as it was earlier.

Some strong pain medications can be addictive. In cases of severe pain, emergency, or trauma, doctors will prescribe narcotics. Narcotics can be very effective, but they are also very addictive and must be used sparingly. Narcotics are not a long-term solution.


There are other ways to control your pain, including non-narcotic medications and different kinds of therapies. You need to work with your doctor to find other medications and techniques to control your pain.
