I don't have any medication to suggest but my son Guy - who was diagnosed with Bone Cancer and was in considerable pain - used an electro-acupuncture hand held machine called a Healthpoint. It's advantages were that it was non-invasive (i.e. did not pierce the skin with a needle point which could have lead to infection); was applied directly to the area of pain and/or a meridian point; could be applied by a third party or by himself in the times when he was more mobile. It's benefits were very obvious and I started to use the machine myself for pain relief from my arthritis - and have continued to do so for over 10 years!
I believe this machine is still available from Dove Health in the UK. Their web address is www.DoveHealth.com .
