Pain meds

My doctor says I can't take any pain meds b/c I have end stage non-alcoholic cirrhosis. I have much back pain (caused by liver damage?) so need something for the pain. All the OTC pain meds have been banned from my use. Are there any prescription pain meds I can take? My doctor seems to think there aren't any, but I want another opinion.

you can safely use acetaminophen up to 2 gms daily (6 regular strength) knowing that there can be hidden amounts in other OTC products such as nyquil.  its best to avoid meds such as aleve, nuprin, etc and ASA if possible as they can cause renal problems.
