If my back injury is anything to by it takes ages to heal.

I seem to remember from surgery that Voltarol (diclofenac) is good for bone pain BUT read the contraindications as it's an NSAID like ibuprofen
https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/diclofenac/ and use for minimum time. Tramadol is another stronger painkiller -mild opioid. You should really be speaking to your GP about which are safe and appropriate for you, to get a prescription.

yes, see your GP, you may need something stronger than you can buy over the counter.

Why can't you take Ibuprofen?

Hi Sqad.. I have asthma also it upsets my stomache even with food.. The doctor has given me Tramodol now as well as paracetamols but told me to only take 1 three times a day.... but they dont seem to work either... the shooting pains are terrible as well as a dull ache...
