Medicine For Lowback And Nerve Pain Posted: 08-01-07 14:17pm
Hi, im 18 years old and i fell on ice over
6 months ago delivering pizza. the doctors
cant pinpoint whats going on but they
thing its muscle spasms in my lower pack
pinching one or more nerves running down
my right leg, ive gone to more doctors
than i can keep track of,
primary,chiropractor, neurologists,
neurosurgeons, pain management,
orthopeadics, and im going in circles. im
taking morpine (90mg/day), and lyrica
(450mg/day) and lidoderm patches for pain
and almost all the time it doesnt help and
i still find myself falling on the ground
in a tremendous amount of pain, yelling
and crying, all of this with the aid of
crutches. (now im not like a macho man or
anything, but i feel like i can handle an
average amount of pain) If anyone has a
pain or nerve medicine that works well for
them please let me know. i know morphine
is a very strong drug and i feel like if
anything this should help. also, the
chance of addiction runs through my mind
everyday because im 18, i dont need to be
on drugs my whole life. lately the risk of
addiction its becoming less and less scary
to me because it hurts so bad so often
that i just dont care, if i could get out
of this pain the risk of addiction seems
almost worth it.
anyone with any ideas please let me know i
feel more and more desperate to get back
to my life, im not used to spending pretty
much 24 hours a day in bed.
