Morphine is one of the best pain relievers, and (I think) you can still "stay mobile"...

That is true, but it is very affective. (& yes I know if you get addicted to it during Z-day, you will go crazy.) Do you know any other somewhat non-addicting painkillers?

The best kind are addictive unfortunatly. And pardon me but SCREW the morphine, and codiene. Go with the lord of all painkillers. OPIUM! This stuff allowed soldiers to sleep through getting their leg amputated!

Morphine is derived from opium and is the most powerful painkiller of all opiates. The problem with all opium derived medicine is that they increase the rate of infection, lower the appetite, and causes a loss of energy. Morphine is meant to be used in a hospital setting.

Cocaine is a non addicting painkiller, as in, Apply to skin anesthetic. It depends on your definition of a painkiller. There's a couple non addicting muscle relaxants. If I was you I'd convert all the morphine I get my hands on into heroin and all the codeine I get my hands on into oxymorphone just so you have large supplies of painkillers. Antibiotics wise there's a lot of tetracycline derivatives prescribed for acne that'd be super easy to get a hold of. Do you find this valuable?

Sometimes the alternative is worse.

First, get a list of wide spectrum ATBs(antibiotics) If you had a lab, you could do a culture and sensitivity and determine the best narrow spectrum ATB but wide spec works in a pinch. Okay, Morphine is wussy analgesia, what you want for the best relief are duragesic patches. These are controlled release fentanyl, a pain killer 80X more powerful than morphine. Be careful though, respiratory depression can be a side effect and if you take too much and go to sleep, you might wake up dead. I suggest ibuprophen, readily available and easy to control dosage.

I don't think your Looking Hard Enough. :-) But all the analogues are pretty easy to find to. You can get prescription lidocaine for cold soars. I disagree with ibuprophen and suggest tramadol being a strong synthetic opioid that does more painkilling then losing movement. You'd have to bag it from pharmacy however, its not controlled just prescription only.

None of the drugs mentioned so far would be capable of acting as a painkiller and allow the person to remain mobile, they'd get you high and have a serious risk of addiction. Also I don't think mixing a stimulant with a depressant is a good idea.

For a painkiller I'd suggest anything that isn't too powerful, you need to keep your wits about you. If it's not enough then it's probably not a good idea to be moving, and I'd consider settling in to give yourself sometime to heal. If you absolutely must move, then it's probably a good thing to be feeling some pain so you don't injure yourself much further.

Wish I could be more help but I'm not a Pharmacist.

For small cuts I'd suggest neosporin. General anti-botics need to be carefully controlled, especially if your mixing it with other medication or you run the risk of complications and reinfection.

Tramadol would keep you mobile. I'm sorry for that not being my first and only post but I didn't think about it initially. Do you find this valuable?

haha, No I'm sure even if I look hard enough for cocaine, I will find just a couple rocks. :]

OK, So what I know now is.
1. Use simple medical supplies for minor cuts/infections/pains...
2. Use a powerful, but not too powerful pain reliever/ antibiotic for more severe injuries.

Good.
