Narcotics are the mainstay for post-operative pain, and it takes a long time for dependency issues to develop, so there's no real worry, though some narcotic addicts prefer to avoid the risk of relapse. The ""caine"-type anesthetics and NSAIDS are useful but the standard against which all else is compared is morphine, and for good reason.
