I seem to be very resistant to painkillers, my latest is tramadol, I ve been on it for 3 days and for sure can feel it s side effects but as per usual it s not helped the pain. I got given two weeks work but my doctor said by 3 days I should know of it will help with the pain or not. It s not touched the pain. What would the next painkiller to try? I ve been on cocodamol, codydramol, amytriptaline, naproxen, zapain and tramadol. I am worried about going on more opiates since I go back to University I m September need tone able to cognitively function but also be in as little pain as possible. Thank you.
As per your explanation. I understand you are in pain. But why you are in pain?, what problem you have ? Since when you are having this problem and pain related to this ? Since when you know your body is resistance with painkiller ? Need to know all above things. Which you have not mentioned. So here I am giving you general guideline. Treat the cause of pain not the symptoms. As well do regular exercise, take good sleep, have balance diet and keep a positive attitude. These four things will help you I believe in your life to fight against the pain better way then just taking a painkiller.  Apart from this for localize pain you can also use hot and cold pack to have some more relaxing and anti-inflammatory effects. In your diet remember to keep more of omega 3 because it's a natural anti-inflammatory and helps for many other problems in our body. Hope this was useful for you. Ask your question again if needed. Take care.
