Hello, Binky! How are you?

Only your doctor can prescribe an appropriate medication. However, there are quite a few options ranging from nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, like Meloxicam, to other opiates, such as Oxycodone or Dilaudid.

As listed by the FDA, the NSAID are approved to treat pain, fever and swelling, so some people with joint pain do well with them. Their typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

Opiates are used to treat pain, they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have DDD and have had allergic reactions to tramadol, codien, and hydrocodone. I can't find what is similar in them that would cause the reaction. There are days I need something stronger but I'm starting to fear all pain meds from the past allergies.
