Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and would answer point by point.
Available data suggests that glucosamine and chondroitin is very safe and don't  cause any liver damage however it may cause upset stomach,diarrhea and constipation.
It may cause allergic reaction in few because glucosamine is made from shell fish and people having allergy to shell fish can have allergic reaction after eating glucosamine.

Safest pain killers which don't cause any problem to your liver and stomach are narcotic pain killers like OXYCODONE,MS contin,TRAMADOL etc,however the problem with these narcotic medication is addiction,overdosage and misuse.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
