NSAIDs: How They Work. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most popular drugs for treating arthritis pain. NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen (Alleve, Naprosyn), and aspirin. They work by reducing the production of substances called prostaglandins, which cause pain and inflammation in the body. NSAIDs have a dual action; they not only relieve pain, but they bring down swelling in the joints, too.
Although there are quite a few strong opioids, the most commonly prescribed one is morphine. If your doctor thinks that a strong opioid would help your type of pain then morphine is usually the first strong opioid to be prescribed. If this does not work, your doctor may consider switching you to a different one.
