Suggest Treatment Other Than Opiates For LPHS

i have suffered with lphs for 20 years the pain is agonising i take large qauntities of opiates but they just ease it slightly rather than take it away i had a kidney denervation operation 2 years ago but the pain came back after 7 months i keep getting fobbed off by my specialists as no one understands the condition is there any other course of treatment other than opiates as i hate taking these drugs but it is all i am being offered i am a 30 year old female in the uk

Hi,

Prolonged use of opioid analgesics is not recommended and it can harm your kidneys. You can try Tramadol which is a safe opioid group and can be used for a longer duration.

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