Ibs-friendly Pain Medication For Herniated Discs

I have five herniated discs in my spine and I've been suffering from agonizing pain. Every time I try to take something for the pain, it flares up my IBS, causing me severe diarrhea and nausea. The doctors dismiss me when I tell them about my problem. Is there anyone out there who could recommend a pain medication that is gentle on the stomach? Thanks in advance.

Hello, Ronnie! How are you?

I don't know of any gentle pain medications, there is a chance of all of them causing side effects, especially opiates, and they may include nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth, in addition to what you've mentioned.

Ref: Safe Opiate Use

However, there are things you can do to try to mitigate the side effects, such as making sure not to take them on an empty stomach.

Have you tried any diarrhea remedies? Do you take any medications for your IBS?
