I have found Advil helps, but do not take more than six per day. Even so, I only use it when really needed because of side effects to the heart.
I was given Dilaudid once. It caused extreme constipation even with much fluids. I had to go to the hospital for relief. Straining at a bowel movement is bad for your back pain, so this was a huge mistake for me.
Nerve blockers were also suggested by my physician and orthopedic surgeon, but if I take a nerve blocker, I will not be able to feel if I am hurting myself more - which will probably lead to further injury.
