I have chronic pain, lower lumber ,bulging disc...the sciatic nerve causes pain down both legs,but sometimes just down the right one ...the pain is awful ...sitting,laying,sleeping and standing up from sitting is difficult...once I m up walking is slow, but once I can get going i can walk ....if I try to take on a project the pain gets worse and if I am able to do any of the project..with in 5 mins. My back is just screaming and all I can see in my head is a sign flashing PAIN over and over..I can t focus on anything....it consumes me.. I have a family doctor...That tells me doctor don t really like to give out pain meds...send me to pain management and told me if you are here for Norcos ...your in the wrong place..I have side affects with a lot of thing food,meds,etc..the only to pain meds my body will except is demoral and Norcos...why r doctors not prescribing pain meds for those who really need it ???
