Several types of medicine can help alleviate leg bone pain, depending on the severity.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications
For mild to moderate leg bone pain, over-the-counter pain relievers are often effective.
- Ibuprofen (Advil): A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation.
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol): An analgesic that helps to relieve pain, but doesn't reduce inflammation.
Prescription Medications
For moderate to severe leg bone pain, a doctor might prescribe stronger medications.
- Morphine: A strong opioid pain reliever used for severe pain.
- Paracetamol: A prescription-strength version of acetaminophen, used for moderate pain relief. Note: paracetamol is another name for acetaminophen.
Always consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
