More Realistic Pain Management for MS?

For years NSAIDs have been my saving grace for MS. I can't take them anymore due to gastritis. I've just been taking too many for too long.

My PCP sent me to a pain management specialist and the first drug he tried was Tramadol. It did nothing but make me sleepier than I already am. My last visit he changed it to OxyContin.

I'm not about to take that, I didn't even get it filled. It *feels* like the beginning of the end and besides, I honestly don't feel I need narcotics at this point.

Other than NSAIDs and Tramadol, are there *any* NON narcotic options to MS pain management? (Secondary Progressive)

Thanks!

Some people use Turmeric for inflammation (pain). Might look at your diet and cut out the foods which cause inflammation.
