It's going to be difficult to find one that's non-narcotic and works as well as one.

Have you tried Tramadol?

You can learn more about it here:

Has your doctor suggested anything?

Thank you so much for the recommendation. Tramadol works OK, not great. We tried it without the vicopro for over year in combination with Aleve and nothing works like the vicopro for me. It's the difference between getting out of bed and taking a shower, etc., or just unable to move at all. I am only taking one vicopro each day and then one or two Tramadols as needed. I am hoping for a non-narcotic that works as well.

My next suggestion to talk to your doctor about then would be Tapentadol, the brand name for it is Nucynta. It's similar in classification to the Tramadol, but is supposed to be slightly more potent and effective.

I believe there was another one, but I am blanking on the name, at the moment. I will, however, keep researching for you.

Are you having a problem with the narcotics?
