How To Treat Spiral Stenosis Inspite Of Taking Neurontin,hydrocodone And Oxycodone?
I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis 5 years ago. Been submitted to Neurontin, Plavix, hydrocodone, oxycodone, these medications did not help! Lost body functions and control, also gained weight. 6 epidurals ceased to be effective. Last week, after a year from the last epidural, another was tried. Am now in more pain than before. Is some other medication available? Was told I am a poor candidate for surgery. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sal Baio

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if conservative treatment does not help you then it may not be tried again, as long as pain is concern this can be managed with any NSAID (Non steroid-Anti-inflammatory drug) and best option would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release once in day, you need to bear the pain as hard as you could and avoid potent analgesic or narcotic, hope this information helps, take care.
