My grandpa has prostate cancer. And he's currently in the hospital getting treated. And I was wondering if there are basically anything we could do to get rid of the pain naturally without morphine or any other pain killer. Thanks in advance :)

Tooly - I do not know if your grandpa has localized or widespread, advanced cancer. Not all men with advanced prostate cancer have pain. Some men will have no pain at all and others will have varying amounts. With the right treatment, pain can be relieved most of the time. He should not have to accept pain as a normal part of having cancer. The treating physician needs to know about any pain he has as soon as possible. The earlier he asks for help, the easier it will be to get his pain under control. There may be more than one cause of pain in men with advanced prostate cancer. Possible causes include: The cancer may have spread to the bones or more rarely to the spine. The cancer can sometimes spread to the lymph nodes, making them swollen and uncomfortable. Problems related to the cancer, such as constipation or muscle tension. Side effects from treatments รข€“ for example, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. It is also worth considering that the cancer might not be causing the pain. His specialist team should investigate the cause of the pain and then offer the most appropriate treatments. Besides the stronger prescription drugs, there are mild pain-relieving drugs, such as paracetamol. He can use them together with stronger pain-relieving drugs. All medicines can cause side effects. He may not get any or all of these. Different types of non-opioid drugs have different side effects, usually rare. Complementary therapies such as acupuncture, aromatherapy, massage, reflexology and hypnotherapy may help cope with cancer pain. We need more research to prove that these therapies help relieve pain, but some people have found them helpful. Please speak to your specialist team before trying any complementary therapies. You may find it helps to try some of the following ideas: Use music, reading or television to try and take his mind off his pain. Have a chat with him to you to take his mind of things for a while. Change his position frequently to prevent stiffness. Help him practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing. Hot or cold packs may help to relieve some types of pain (be sure to wrap them in a towel to stop them damaging his skin). Help him with a relaxing bath. These suggestions are not magic cures but they may help some men feel more in control of their pain. You're a good man to want to want to help your grandpa so.
