Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To DDD, 4 Herniated Discs And COPD
I have 4 herniated discs in my back and degeneriative back disease and COPD. I have been to all kind of Drs for the severe pain in my back which just seems to be getting worse as far as the pain goes. I have been going to a pain clinic in L.R. They now have me on Dilaudid 4 mg. and Fentynal patches 100mg. to change every 24 hrs. My regular Dr. added Lyrica to my medicines 75 mg And I had the best relief in years. Was actually able to do some things around the house. It was like a miracle until about 4 weeks ago the pain started getting worse again. The pain clinic used to give me shots in my back which didn t help . Do u have any suggestions or advice for me. I cant do anything without severe pain Please help; help.

I advise physical therapy. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation has helped chronic pain cases like yours and much better for your body than shots in the long run.
