There is a point in any painful disease like yours that continuing taking pills doesn't do an effective job. And there is no pill absolutely none that is safe beyond a year and half of use. All of them affect organs and can cause permanent damage. You probably need a surgical remedy and I would recommend seeing a surgeon for the same.
