I haven't found anything that helps the pain drug wise other than, like, hydrocodone. Otherwise my savior is heat, lots of heat.

I recently started taking codeine and I think it made a difference. I took it with 3 tablets of tramadol on the same day so I can't be sure which of the two drugs helped me but Tramadol alone usually isn't enough for me.

Edit : I just looked up the interactions between codeine and tramadol. They can be dangerous taken together. I didn't know that. So please don't take them together like I did !

I took OxyContin for the pain but u have to get a prescription for that and Junel Fe for birth control after my surgery. The bc has really suppressed my ovaries making symptoms reduce drastically.

A combination of Motrin and tramadol followed by a hot shower.
