HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the pain is the only concern then it can be well treated with NSAID too and best would be "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day, it is no matter if the narcotic does not cause the drowsy hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day,
I find this answer helpful
