Unable to take NSAID's due to blood thinners...

[geoffpuma]

I suffer from chronic glute/back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis, but am unable to take NSAID's due to taking Rivaroxaban blood thinners. Is there any effective pain killer that I can take?...

I am in a similar situation. I can’t take nsaids because I have really bad acid reflux. Probably from all the years of chronic migraines. Now I have osteoarthritis and compressed nerves even on protonix for reflux ,it got so bad I was vomiting after every meal. I am also searching for an nsaid that won’t bother my stomach. Good luck and please let me know if you find something. I am also very allergic to aspirin.

If you find one, please share on our forum. I can't take them because of stomach issues, and acetaminophen is pretty much worthless.

I can't call it an "effective" pain killer, but golden milk helps pain somewhat for me. When I'm past my limit, it's better than nothing.

A friend of mine is in a similar situation and was prescribed gapabentin for nerve pain which helps. ? ask pharmacist or GP
