Suggest Medication For Arthritis

I m trying to find a pain medication for arthritis. Nucynta works but is too expensive. Is there another pain medicine similar that would work, one that a generi is available? Hydrocodone doesn t help the pain at all, so that s not an option. YYYY@YYYY

Hello


You may have good relief with physiotherapy like IFT [Interferential therapy] and TENS[Transcutaneous electrostimulation] along with ultrasound.
So if possible you can start that.

You can consult your doctor for type of arthritis.
You may need specific treatment for particular arthritis.

You can start tramadol consulting your doctor.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
