How To Treat Injury Mediated 4 Messed Up Disks?
My daughter has 4 messed up disks from an injury. She has been told it is inoperable. She also has had viral meningitis 4 x. A pain doctor was going to put a wire in her spine to relieve pain but decided it was too risky because the viral meningitis might come back. She had been taking pure hydrocodone, 30 mg every 6 hours. That seems to help. She wants to stay on that back medicine since she doesn t seem to have other options and has tried everything. Should she be able to get that medication from a physiatrist in California? Thank you,

Hello
Yes she can get medication in california after consulting to doctor.
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Medication like methylcobalamine and analgesic will reduce pain.
You can continue yoga exercises and focus on spine extension exercises.
Some exercises which can be done include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.
Hope I have addressed your query. Happy to help further
