What can i do about chronic back pain?
I HURT MY BACK A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I HAVE FOUR BULGING DISKS IN MY LOWER BACK, I HAVE SEEN 12 DIFFERENT DOCTORS/ SPECIALISTS AND NO ONE CAN HELP ME. IT IS HARD TO SLEEP OR CONCENTRATE AT WORK BECAUSE THE PAIN IS SO INTENSE ALL THE TIME.ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT?
Well if you take pain killers, you’re going to end up becoming addicted to them, which will then eat your stomach lining, and may possibly do other damage. If you want the temporary relief until you can find another suitable treatment, depending on you, you can try vicodin (hydrocodone). Some people feel oxycodone (percocet) is stronger, or OxyContin. If you have been to these doctors, ask for a pain killer and muscle relaxor. Look into Dolobid (Diflunisal) – an anti-inflammatory muscle relaxor.
When you use a heating pad or take a hot bath, your muscles will be relaxed, unfortunately, once you start using the muscles or bones, everything will start to hurt again because of your movements. the lady above me is correct, see an osteopathic doctor or some orthopedics.
The one thing I could recommend for you is a bit illegal, but I’ve suffered back pain since I was 13 (i’m 24 now). At most times, it’s intense, but sometimes can be tolerable. Try marijuana – I know I know, some people look down upon it, but I have no complaints. Sure, it’s bad for my lungs, and I can’t remember sh*t now, but my pain is tolerable and sometimes puts a smile on my face (and since I’m an artist, it gives me a creative edge to draw / graphic design).
These are just some suggestions. Hope you miraculously wake up and feel a whole lot better one day.
