, chronic pain causes - CORRECT ANSWER-past injuries or surgeries, back problems,

*fibromyalgia
*cancer
*multiple sclerosis

*AIDS
*gallbladder disease
How do doctors find the cause of pain? - CORRECT ANSWER-Asking about your
symptoms and your medical history, including any illness, injury, or surgery. Your doctor
will also examine you and may order blood tests or X-rays.
Tests that pinpoint the cause of pain: - CORRECT ANSWER-*CT scan
*MRI
*Nerve blocks
*Discography:
*Myelogram
*EMG
*Bone scans
*Ultrasound imaging
Milder forms of pain may be relieved by... - CORRECT ANSWER-over-the-counter
medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.
Stronger medications for pain relief - CORRECT ANSWER-muscle relaxants, anti-
anxiety drugs (such as diazepam [Valium]), antidepressants (like duloxetine [Cymbalta]
for musculoskeletal pain), prescription NSAIDs such as celecoxib (Celebrex), or a short
course of stronger painkillers (such as codeine, fentanyl [Duragesic, ACTi], oxycodone
and acetaminophen (Percocet, Rocket, Tylor) or hydrocodone and acetaminophen
(Lorca, Lortab, and Vicodin). A limited number of steroid injections at the site of a joint
problem can reduce swelling and inflammation. An epidural might be given for spinal
stenosis or lower back pain.
