if you speak to your gp they can prescribe ametatriplyne, I found it made me very drowsy and spaced out so you might get on better by trying it first at bedtime just in case as it effects everyone differently but I never found it did anything for my pain however you taking codeine will not be good for your bowels so I would definitely talk to your gp as they don’t even need a gastro to prescribe ametatriplyne as it’s a first line drug for Ibs pain etc. good luck
