In this episode, Rob is with Dr Sophie Newton talking about the medication both prescribed and over the counter that is used to treat back pain

What is appropriate for one person may not be the right thing for another but this is an opportunity to find out more about how different types of medication work and the reasons why specific treatments are used

 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Short-term, acute pain treatments include anti-inflammatory medication which works on damping down the  inflammation
Milder opioids like codeine are often given in conjunction with co-codamol
Opiates work on opioid receptors that trigger the pain response
Medications can be very effective but they do have side effects and it’s important that people know about these
People need to become active to repair the back and it’s about the medication that can help support this
Antidepressants are now recommended for chronic pain because they work on neurotransmitters
The topical gels and patches do really work and for many people, it’s a much better option as the side effects profile is less

BEST MOMENTS

‘The smallest dose is the best dose’

‘We need you to get moving and you need pain relief onboard to get moving because this is what will be the biggest help’

‘GPs are always assessing the risk and the benefits of any medication’
