What is the best medication to help alleviate thoracic back pain?I was taking Sulindac and Clinoril but they hurt my stomach and I had to discontinue them.
Answer by Drewby
If you have failed those NSAID's, I would suggest an opioid like Lorcet. It is available in three strengths listed below.
5/500 (hydrocodone/acetaminophen)
7.5/650 (hydrocodone/acetaminophen)
10/650 (hydrocodone/acetaminophen)
You would want to start at the lowest dose (5/500) and try 1-2 tablets every 4-6hrs. Then if needed we can increase you on up.
You will need to contact your personal health care provider about obtaining a prescription.

Hello,
"According to a recent article in Science Daily:
"The mortality rate from NSAID complications is higher than that of serious diseases like cervical cancer and AIDS."
NSAIDs have been known as contributory to high blood pressure, stomach and intestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney and liver problems.
In fact, a study published in the American Gastroenterological Association Journal stated that 71 percent of people who took some form of NSAID medication for 3 months, a mere ninety days, or more experienced problems with their small intestines.
These complications merely scratch the surface and are second only to the untold complications a vast majority of suffering patients experience after undergoing surgery. "
