Hi
Thanks for writing in.
I understand the severity of your pain. You can take acetaminophen 1 gram every 6 hrly and if still not controlled, you can take diclofenac 75 mg. Opioids aren't really that bad and may be required if still not controlled. You can try weak opioids like tramadol 50 mg. Otherwise you will need to take advice from your doctor or pain physician regarding further management.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be happy to answer any follow-up queries.
Best Wishes,
