Hi Snoopy,
This is probably a lame suggestion but here it is...

I take 800 ibuprofen - for me it has to be the prescribed one - taking 4 advil is not the same for me and bothers my stomach. I have tried tons of muscle relaxers, lyrica, neurontin, anaprox, and others. But nothing works like that 800 ibuprofen.

I have leg pain and weakness.

I've been offered all kinds of pain meds and I just keep turning them down - I'm with you - I don't want anything addictive.

I have a friend who works for a compounding pharmacist - and he was telling me that they can make all different kinds of pain patches, sublingual pain meds, and oral meds which combine more than one medicine to make their action stronger at a lesser dosage.

Don't give up trying to find a solution. My pain really wears me out and changes me. It's tough.
