HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your problem, you are right taking opioid is not good idea, you can have same result with the simple NSIAD, If I would be your doctor then I would surely treat you with the "Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen" only big thing is it requires your tolerance power for pain, with this you will going to have very excellent result, take care and have nice day.
