I was reading in a magazine there is are new pain drugs being developed that will cut nauseau and side effects. They will go straight to pain receptors. Does anyone know about these? They are going to be geared towards cancer patients who feel weak and nausous daily.
I would be interested in knowing about these. Although I am not in pain or experiencing cancer, I am highly sensitive to pain drugs and have struggled in the past. What happens is I experience the side effect and the medicine does not effect me. I don't even think it gets absorbed by my system as I immediately toss my cookies. Then all I have is great pain. I am very sensitive to pain.
I have been in great pain, so I really want to know more about these drugs, as well as their names so I can have them on hand for the future. Thanks.

So I can have them on hand as suggestions for any future procedures. Thanks.

Sounds like you may be allergic to codeine?? If they gave you Vicodin or hydrocodone or any drug that has codiene in it bc alot of the pain meds have codeine in them.....which are called opiods. Tell your doc and he can give you something that doesn't have codeine in it and not so hard on your stomach. I use the Fentynal patch and it doesn't have codeine but it still might make your stomach upset? Fortunately i have a stomach of steel so nothing bothers me????? Just ask your doctor and telll him all the systoms that you just told us!! Good luck

Being developed means they are working on something. There is no new classification of pain medicine that has been approved by the FDA. If you'd like to see what drugs have been approved, go to:

I havent heard anything about a new class of pain drugs. But m-s contin works well. morphine based,, non-codeine or hydrocodone.. Doesnt bother stomach at all. Pretty tough to get doc to prescribe to ya though. Highly addictive.

I cant help you there but I can recommend a book called The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies if you want to learn how to help yourself and maybe teach the Md something.
