From my experience, I think the only thing that would work would be something stronger like a fentanyl. However, the CRS docs generally don't like to prescribe opioid based pain pills as they can cause constipation which further compounds the problem.
My general practitioner gave me some tramadol, but it didn't really do much. My CRS didn't give me any pain meds at all and just prescribed me topical lidocaine 5%, but honestly, I don't feel like it helped that much either. The best thing in the end for me was surgery..that's what got rid of the pain.
