How can I manage stomach and back pain without pain meds?

Managing pain without traditional medications can be challenging, and exploring alternative approaches with medical guidance is often helpful. Consider discussing options like gentle movement, heat/cold therapy, relaxation techniques, or other pain management strategies with the healthcare team to find what works best for this specific situation.

I know what you are saying. I have the same problem. Although the pain has been bad enough that I tried pain pills again. I have learned for myself that pain pills without the buffer in it and then adding a few Advil seems to be helping me.

Be careful with the Advil if you have any metastases to the liver. Most of the NSAIDs are very demanding on the liver.
