Suggest Treatment For Arthritis
Hello! I m a 67 year old woman suffering from chronic pain, and fibromyalgia, both types of arthritis. I have back issues where I have 5 discs without moisutre in them ... and the list goes on. I m taking 10 - 325 hydrocodone daily (4 tabs) and they are becoming less and less effective. I ve had the radio frequentcy done several times, injections, and any type of over (heck I don t even need to over do anything really!) to have this consttant pain. Today in the mail I received several boxes of Lidocaine USP 5% OINTMENT ... is this going to help any of the chronic pain .... ???? Sincere Thanks, Marsha

Hi Marsha
Multiple disc issues could be resolved with dynamic complaints for spine fusion by surgery.That is a good option,you may contact a minimal invasion spine specialist surgeon who I performing spine surgery of latest technology
Dependence or hydrocodone is bad and in my opinion surgical options must be undertaken now.
