Hi Libby, Welcome to NT.

If I may, why can't you take opioids, and is it any/all opioids or just some/most (or do you know)? This is important, as that class of meds is usually the best option/gold standard for post-surgical pain.

You can find the whole pharmacopeia by googling: post surgical medication

(I prefer to recommend search criteria to provide a more well-rounded perspective on a question rather than specific links that might be biased or incomprehensive.)

Chronic neuropathic pain is often treated with gabapentin, Lyrica, and/or topiramate. I don't know of post-surgical pain being treated with those, as they can take some time to build up to efficacy.

You might try googling: post surgical neuropathic pain

HTH,

Doc
