Which is safer? Slow release morphine or slow release oxycodone? In this slideshow, we highlight this and other studies that explore the issue of pain. Children living with undiagnosed musculoskeletal pain, the importance of controlling post-op pain after knee replacement and the consequences of long-term incidental pain later in life are among the studies due to be presented at the American College of Rheumatology 2016 annual meeting Nov. 11-16 in Washington, D.C.
