it is best you avoid taking thrice a day if you can still bear the pain ,as it might damage your kidneys and also give you bad stomach problem.As for alprazolam i suggest you try to avoid it as you will become addicted to it.i recommend you restrict physical activities and get a proper check up for the pain
