Q: What To Take If You Can't Take Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug
Many options exist for treating the pain of arthritis. Medications like tramadol and oxycodone are heavy hitters. On the lighter side is just plain old Tylenol, safe and effective when used as directed. Some of the topical NSAID's may also be appropriate for you. Only your doctor will know what is appropriate for you. Please talk it over.
And never underestimate the power of good nutrition. The anti-inflammatory diet works.
