How Can Severe Pain In The Legs And Back Be Treated?

I am taking Hydrocodone/Ibuprof 7.5-200 mg Tb for extreme pain in my back, legs and knee. I can t have knee survey at this time because of low iron. I have had 4 iron infusions, but it keeps dropping, so I have to live with the pain. my doctors seem to be afraid to prescribe hydrocodone so I wanted to know what would be the strongest over the counter pain reliever I could get.

Hi,

First of all, you need to get an MRI lumbosacral spine first to rule out the cause of your backache and legs. Also, take calcium and vitamin D supplements too because steroids leads to bone weakening too, which might be responsible for the aggravation of your pain. Take iron supplements too, besides that for pain, you can take Paracetamol and tablets Xobix.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
