No need to use trazodone , only painkillers needed.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome at HCM
I am Dr Saad Sultan and will be answering your query. I have read and understood your health concerns.
Kindly elaborate your concerns clearly so that we can help you more in efficient way.
In my opinion i don't think trazodone is a good option to start. Because it causes blurred vision along with drowsiness and dizziness. Also it requires at least three weeks to elicit its effects. All he needs is bed rest and painkillers.
He should use powerful painkillers like acetaminophen and tramadol.
It will definitely make it easier for him to go through all this.
Stay calm and if you have any query feel free to write me on HCM.
May he get well soon
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
