Pain is the most common complaint of patients who see rheumatologists. In this article, the current treatment options for pain are reviewed; these include acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, new specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, opioid analgesics, centrally acting muscle relaxants, antidepressants, and topical analgesics and counterirritants. The doses of medication and known adverse effects of these medications are highlighted.
