Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Some drugs will have sodium retaining property, so they may increase the weight, some may have effect on metabolism.
If you want to stop the narcotic analgesics, there will be other ways of control of pain.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically, diclofenac, paracetamol,calcium,and multivitamin supplements.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till you get relief.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
