General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi! Your problem requires a pain killer stronger than Advil. I suggest that you visit a doctor and ask for these 2 drugs, Desvenlafaxine and Tramadol. These two drugs are SNRI's that have a powerful effect on the psychological perception of pain, in addition to this Tramadol is a synthetic opiate that relieves the emotional aspects of the pain that you describe. You need a prescription for both these drugs. Kindly follow these suggestions. You'll get better. Thanks, Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
