I'm looking for pain killer that isn't:
(1) lidocaine - it really makes me feel drugged (sleepy, out of it, slurred words)
(2) dibucaine (as in nupercainal) - see (1)
(3) ibuprofen (advil) - supposedly impairs healing
(4) acetaminophen (tylenol) - bad for liver, makes me tired
I'm taking nifedipine which helps reduce the pain, but isn't a pain killer. Are there any other good topical or oral pain medicines that could take the edge off?
