Tell your team about any pain, especially new pain, which should be checked for cancer coming back. Most long-lasting pain is best managed first with exercise, talking therapies, physiotherapy and non-opioid medicines; acupuncture helps joint pain from aromatase inhibitors. Opioids can be tried with care, because long-term use carries real risks."}]}
