Depending on your current conditions such as kidney function, heart conditions, and GI diagnoses, different medications are recommended. Usually Tylenol and ibuprofen are good starting points if you don’t have contraindications to these medications. From there a Tailored pain medication regimen can be designed for your specific pain generators.
NSAIDs like aspirin or ibuprofen, herbal supplements like bromalin or turmeric, if unresponsive prednisone may help but injections may be necessary.
