The term ‘painkiller’ is misleading – it implies that medicine will kill the pain completely. Although they can play a part in managing persistent pain they do not work for everyone, and even if you get some benefit, after 3 months they’re probably not working and addiction becomes a serious issue.
There are four main types of pain medication: 1) Paracetamol. 2) Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen. 3) Opioids, that range in strength from codeine through to high dose examples like tramadol and morphine. 4) Other medicines such as anti-depressants and anti-epileptics.

Wellbeing Matters ‘Making a difference in Salford’
Wellbeing Matters is led by Salford CVS, the support organisation for the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector. Wellbeing Matters includes a social prescribing approach that links statutory health and care services to the VCSE sector. The aim is to support people to connect to local community assets to support their wellbeing and independence, reducing the need for intervention by health and care services.
What is Social Prescribing?
Social prescribing, sometimes called a community referral, is a means of enabling GPs, nurses and other primary care professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services. Recognising that people’s health is determined primarily by a range of social, economic and environmental factors, social prescribing seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way. It also aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health. Social prescribing schemes can involve a variety of activities which are typically provided by voluntary and community sector organisations. Examples include volunteering, arts activities, group learning, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice and a range of sports. Social Prescribing is listed as one of the ten high impact actions in the NHS England General Practice forward view.
