"Pain" seems to be the emphasis here...so pain ladder management...rate:3/10;... 1st step drugs or less addictive...from the list, Ibuprofen is the simplest one...codeine and meperidine are opioids (moderate type of pain)...TCA and Carbamazepine(neuropathic pain)...
that's my reasoning...hope this is helpful...feel free to correct me where I'm wrong.
