What pain reliever can I take with ITP and NASH.

Nash is non alcoholic cyroris of the liver. Using Tylenol and anti inflammatories for 45 yrs. I have used opioids for every surgery I have ever had, which are many . Back surgery,knee and hip replacements, etc. I am now on morphine and I do not want to be on it.. this is why I was asking if anyone has used anything else. Prednisone works great for pain but side effects are horrendous. ITP is low platelets.. and that caused major joint pains.. prednisone was great .. now weaning off and pain is coming back. This is why I was asking, if there is a miracle oitvin the universe

@miffed I forgot to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect; so welcome! Thank you so much for the information and explanation about ITP and NASH.
I have had some terrible experiences with morphine and steroids in the past, so I would only use opioids &/or steroids as a last resort. I don’t like the addictive properties of opioids and I agree with you about the “horrendous side effects” of steroids. I haven’t had the surgeries like you have had. I’ve had several abdominal surgeries. For those while in the hospital I used Dilaudid. Once home there was very minimal dose and limited duration of an opioid such as Percocet. I’m running out of suitable ideas from my own experience. I’m not one to give up and I like a challenge so here’s one more idea for you. Is there a reputable pain management clinic near you that you could access? Other than that perhaps other members will join this discussion with suggestions to consider?
