Suggest A Strong Painkiller With No Side Effects For Pain Relief
I had surgery on my large toe (excisional biopsy) seven days ago. The doctor prescribed Dolo tablets for pain after I left the hospital. I see that Dolo tablets are merely paracetamol. Is there a stronger painkiller that doesn't have bad side effects? My pain is severe. Thank you.

Hi,
I suggest you try a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as diclofenac or ibuprofen. These are particularly helpful for pain after foot surgery. You should read the information that comes with these tablets as there are certain conditions which exclude their use such as asthma and peptic ulcer disease.
