Since Ultracet (tramadol/paracetamol) causes uneasiness, she may tolerate neuropathic pain medications better, especially given her history of spinal stenosis. Her previous medication, Nurest Forte, likely contained Gabapentin or Pregabalin with Vitamin B12, which targets nerve pain directly. Safer long-term alternatives to discuss with her doctor include low-dose Pregabalin or Gabapentin, or Duloxetine, which help manage chronic nerve pain with fewer cognitive side effects than tramadol. Topical pain-relief gels (like Diclofenac) can also safely ease hip pain. Please consult her physician to obtain a tailored prescription that safely matches her current kidney and liver function.
