I've been having some really bad back pain for the last couple of years... are there any medical grade painkillers made specifically for that purpose?
<|assistant|>
Yes, there are. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen, diclofenac and naproxen can help reduce inflammation and pain. For more severe back pain, doctors may prescribe a higher strength medicine like opioids, which are powerful pain killers derived from the opium plant. If pain relief medicines are not enough, some doctors may recommend a procedure like spinal fusion or epidural steroid injections to reduce the back pain.
