Suggest Medications For Pain Due To Arthritis

I have been dealing with arthritis since I was 25. I am now 65. I have had one hip replacement. I have it in my hands,feet,hips,lower back and now my shoulders. I am in a great deal of pain. My doctor only prescribes extended relief Tylenol. I keep telling him I need something stronger because Tylenol doesn t even touch the pain I am in. I use to walk a lot now my feet hurt so bad I have given it up. Plus I rode my bike too but now find it hurts my back too. Any suggestions on pain medications?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I can understand your situation.Tylenol is not sufficient only for mild pain in the body.it is not sufficient for moderate or severe pain.If I were your doctor I would prescribe diclofenac or aceclofenac for pain.Also I would like to know the reason behind your chronic arthritis problem which is rare at young age so that we can start to treat the underlying cause which may lead to much better relief to your pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
