bulging discs in pain forever
Posted: 12-12-03 03:41am

I was in a car accident a year ago. Still experencing severe pain. 4 months of physical therapy, 3 epidural injections. Mri showed bulging discs but dr said it wasnt bad enough to do surgery. Right now, i'm taking neurontin, ultram, duracet and also prescription sleeping pills because its so hard to sleep. When I get a new prescription for a new pain pill, it will sometimes ease the pain for a week or so but thats all. My Dr. Has told me that i'll always be in pain (physical med and rehab dr) and there is nothing he can do--but somedays, its so bad that it hurts to breathe and I can only sit for maybe 15 min at a time. So when do you just accept that the dr says its not going away?
