I have tried most of the meds listed in the previous posts. Right now I am not taking anything due to the ACDF surgery. I was taking Diclofenac 75 mg 1 tab 3x a day as an anti inflammatory. It seemed to help me more than the other meds. Wish I could start taking it again, but it prohibits bone growth. I need to wait until I am at least at the 6 month mark or there is a fair amount of bone growth.
