A member asked:

Anyone know good pain killers that help with a slipped disk as voltaren (diclofenac) and nuro plus doesn't help!

NSAIDS: if not allergic: Aleve- 1 tab every 8 hrs or Advil 2-3 tab, every 6 hrs . Oxycodone is addictive and has not anti-inflammatory properties. Use OTX Prilosec or Zantac (ranitidine) to protect your stomach and ALWAYS take with food.

Think "meds plus": 1st thing is, you should be guided by someone who can see you in the office who is a pain management doc who knows rehabilitation AND pain management. "Nuro plus" is unlikely to be helpful. It's for general neuropathy. Not likely to help if you have a compressed nerve (which you might have) Think Neurontin or Lyrica (pregabalin). They need careful dose adjustment. Good physical therapy is also important.
