Answers:
I can't give you the actual name of a medication but you need a pain med that is:
1!. Anti-inflammatory;
2!. Contains codeine; and
3!. Is a muscle-relaxant as well!.
Ask your pharmacist for something containing these things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sure you'll get loads of answers from people trined to reply but I thin I read that sweet peppers is good for pain management!.!.!. Just an alternative, and tasty too!.
When I had severe pain last year I was on Diazipam and Cocodamol, I don't think you can get them over the counter though!. You're probably best at asking in a pharmacy, or phoning up if you can't get there!.!.!.
Oh, you could also try a TENS machine where you can control the level of pain relief yourself!. Some people swear by it, others don't though, so perhaps worth borrowing one or something to try it out!?!?
