Temporarily Paralyzed After Spinal Injury. Pain In Hand, Taking Tramadol, Oxycodone. How To Reduce Pain?

I recently had a spinal injury, hit by a wave, was temporarily paralyzed, almost drowned. Have all function back, but the pain in my hands continues, not as bad as the first couple weeks, but its pretty bad. Neurosurgeon says it should heal, but in meantime taking tramadol during day, 1/2 dose of Oxycodone at bedtime. Seem to help, but certainly dont stop the pain. Any advice on pain relief?

HI
Thank for choosing HCM
If you are simply worried about the pain then no need to take any potent pain killer, the drugs which you are taking it right now would be enough, there is natural way out there for pain, and for that you need to first, let the threshold of pain to achieve plateau level, then it will start declining automatically, ( the intensity of pain will come down) and you will feel better even with the analgesic you are taking it right now, Have nice day.
