My name is Glenn. i have Severe Radiating paIn down both my legs, much worse with Left leg making it very difficult to walk. Yes, Im seeing a pain Doctor which recently put me back on Methadone, 60 mgs/day Was taking Tramadol for a while, my decision since it read like all other narcotics and new quickly would not work. Methadone even increasing it to 100 mg s/day docent help me to walk any better. I THEN TRIED extra strength Excedrin and was surprised how well it helped! Only problem I cannot take Nsaids on a regular basis as it caused me to get an ulcer a while back. Can you Please Recommend a NON NASAID, the Best you can think of for myself to try. I did notice Tramadol With Acetaminofin combined. Your opinion on that? Thank you so much for any help. YES, IM TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM ANY MORe LUMBAR SURGERIES and as well as OFF the narcotics if possible. Glenn

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
