Kathy,
yes there is.
I take percocet 5 mg strength. It works and It does not make me groggy... IF ya don't have that, I make a nice cocktail of TWO ALEVE and TWO extra strngth Tylenol.
Give it about twenty minutes and you get some relief. Tones it down... I do that in morning and at noght. After a meal.. If you can get by with ONE Aleve do that because it is hard on yer liver. Sometimes I do the one Aleve with two Xtra strngth Tylenol after dinner because I will be going to bed not long after...
This is my routine.
I also use Roll On Salon Pas with LKidocaine and witch hazel. It deadens pain at the site also.
That is what I use first then add the pills. It helps..
