Having cancer does not mean that you have to live with pain. Cancer and some of the treatments for it can cause pain. But most people who have cancer are able to manage their pain well.1

Key points

Cancer pain can be controlled. Only you know how you feel and how much pain you have. You need to learn how to tell your health care team what your pain feels like and what works and does not work.

Don't wait for pain to get bad. Your pain medicine will work best if you use it when you first notice pain, before it becomes bad.

You will not become addicted. The risk of becoming addicted is very small. Do not let this fear stop you from getting the pain relief you need.
Other conditions need treatment, too. Part of controlling your pain is treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, or sleep problems that can make your pain worse.
