Pain killers without opiates?

I have been going to an orthopedic surgeon who has been give me tramadol and cortisone shots for tendonitis. I was told tramadol is non addictive. I am sick and tired of this approach since its not working anymore, its been 3 years. I told him i didn't think it was tendonitis, turns out its not. I had carpel tunnel in this arm 7 years ago and turns out this is what it is. I am going to a nerosurgeon now and am afraid of being put back on something with opiates in it since i became addicted to them and going through heavy withdrawl and start rehab tomorrow. but i am in terrible pain and am tring nsaids and advill. not working!! and advice?

TRIED ANAPROX AND ASKED DR FOR STRONGER ML. SAID NO.

Ask the dr about something called Anaprox. It's one step below narcotics but one step above the anti-inflammatories.

Have you ever tried Toradol? It's non-narcotic, non-addictive and it works great. It's ketoprofen. Great stuff. I take it for back pain and migraines. It works like a charm for me.

I don't take it for 5 days in a row. I take it as needed, which is maybe once a week. I have a lot more back pain than I do migraines. I usually take Advil for my back but every now and then when I get spasms, Toradol knockes them right out.
