It is prescribed for different treatments, but heres the info on the drug...

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative having anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and very potent anxiolytic properties.[1] It is marketed by Roche under the trade-names Klonopin in the United States, and Ravotril in Chile. Other names like Rivotril or Rivatril are known throughout the large majority of the rest of the world. Clonazepam is marketed as Paxam in Australia. Clonazepam has an unusually long half-life of 18–50 hours, making it generally considered to be among the long-acting benzodiazepines.[2] Clonazepam is a chlorinated derivative of nitrazepam[3] and therefore a nitrobenzodiazepine.[4]

Benzodiazepines such as clonazepam have a fast onset of action and high effectiveness rate and low toxicity in overdose but have drawbacks due to adverse reactions including paradoxical effects, drowsiness, and cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairments can persist for at least 6 months after withdrawal of clonazepam; it is unclear whether full recovery of memory functions occurs. Other long-term effects of benzodiazepines include tolerance, a benzodiazepine dependence as well as a benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome occurs in a third of people treated with clonazepam for longer than 4 weeks.

Clonazepam is used to treat anxiety, and is not a pain killer.  But if your anxiety is creating any physical symptoms, by taking the Clonazepam to ease your anxiety, this may also ease any physical problems you may be having related to anxiety.  Hope this helps and take care.
