I have chronic back pain due to degenerate disc decease what can I do to stop the pain or alieveate it?
I have been taking vicoden for 1 year now and I am getting so ammuned to it that it does not really even help I have asked my doctor to give me something stronger and he will not . My last x-rays showed another herniated disc as well as anterier arthrodesis and a nerve pushing on my spine. Since I have no health insurance its been very difficult to determine the amount of damage to my back only what the xrays have shown I am only 47 and I feel like I am pushing 80 because of the amount of pain I encounter every single day If the pain gets unbearable I am on the heating pad most of the day,This is no quality of life and I have tried to go to a pain management doctor but they pretty much told me if I did not have insurance that it would cost me thousnds of dollars and they never called me back after I said that I still wanted an appointment. Nice world we live in.If you don’t have health insureance doctors can just turn you away.
I am 48 and have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Scoliosis of my lumbar spine, Kyphosis of my thoracic spine and yes prolapsed discs. My Doc gave me Fentanyl Patches, morphine, but I went to Pilates and am now Aqua Jogging. I am also a wheelchair user waiting to see a Neurologist, see if they can remove these discs. However I find relief in Aqua Jogging as even with the morphine I get break through pain and now have peripheral nerve damage. My only advise keep mobile, strengthen the muscles and that will help to relieve the pain. Degenerative Disc Disease is not a actual disease but part of the aging process. The Discs dehydrate as we age.

Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 6 $24.36 Fifteen cartoons dating from World War II give Volume 6 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection more focus than previous sets. Many of the 1940′s cartoons remain very funny. Bugs Bunny dresses up as Brunnhilda and rides in to the strains of “Tannhauser” in “Herr Meets Hare” (1945), a gag Chuck Jones re-used to greater effect in “What’s Opera, Doc” a dozen years later. In “Russian Rhapsody” (1940… |

Mechanical Animals $6.77 There’s no question that Marilyn Manson’s 1995 album Antichrist Superstar was a great-sounding record. It brooded, ripped, and clattered in all the right places, mixing industrial beats and samples with roaring heavy-metal riffs, echoing Goth keys, and the occasional tuneful pop vocal. But for all the sonic appeal, some of the songwriting wasn’t too strong. No such problem on Manson’s new record, … |
