Core Tip
Core Tip: For patients sustaining pain from acute musculoskeletal injury, non-opioids can be considered an alternative to opioids for short-term pain management of acute musculoskeletal injury. We need to be aware that pain intensity may vary widely from different injury patterns, age groups, and other baseline characteristics. Individual and population differences affect the pain management in acute musculoskeletal injury.
