Radiotherapy!

As Tim suggested, a treatment that directly attacks the cause is the first
choice.

Really effective pain relief without drugs may be hard to come by.  There
are a lot of good reasons for wanting to do without opiates if you can, but
the reason I hear most often, fear of addiction, is not among them.  The
risk of addiction in people who are taking them for chronic pain is said to
be about 1%, with most of those having clear-cut history of prior addiction
or risk factors for addiction.  1% is, on one hand, a fairly high rate for a
major complication but when one considers that about 10% of the general
population is said to be addicted to alcohol, it seems less problematic.

If morning stiffness is part of the pain problem, spend 15 to 30 seconds
stretching before even trying to get out of bed.  Do the same if you have
been sitting for a long time.  Capsaicin cream (E.g., Capzaisin(R),
Zostrix(R),. . . ), a sort of liniment might help a little.  Non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and
others or COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex may help and may have some
anti-tumor activity. The NSAIDS are best taken on a regular basis, not just
when the pain gets bad.

Hi Wendy,
 I am a breast cancer survivor as well and a nurse... It must be hard on
you to have pain, I have 3 kids as well, I know you don't want to slow down,
but some times you have to take help from other people, if u have that
support. First of all stop being so stotic, take the pain medication, find
one the fits, not just the first prescribed, you need something for pain
because bone pain is usually the worst. Are you worried about being too
drowsy, find one that doesn't do that as much, even if you can get a
decrease in pain is better than full blown pain, and try not to let the pain
get ahead of you. Are you in chemo now or radiation? Hope everything works
out for you
Sincerely. Sandra
