Suggest A Painkiller With The Least Side Effects

Hi, I m seeking a moderate to severe pain reliever that doesn t interfere with my mental processes. I was prescribed Tramadol, however I do not want to ingest it as it causes me to feel high yet doesn t relieve my pain from two ruptured disc, L4 and L5. Do you have any suggestions. I can tolerate Hydrocodone yet do not wish to ingest acetomenaphen. Thank You, M. Ken Williams
