Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Back

Since I switched my insurance to Molina Regal, I ve been seen only in a clinic where I have yet to see the actual doctor yet. A year ago I slipped and fell in the tub and fractured my sacrum. Since then, I fell down the stairs in December re injuring my lower back. Keeping in mind I already have sciatica. The physician s asst. at the clinic was kind enough to get me an MRI but refused to give me pain meds. I get the results on Monday. What should I do or say in order to get relief from the horrible pain that I have to endure? He gave me tramadol but it just doesn t match the level of pain it s like I never took anything and it s more frustrating than anything. I m a 43 year old female.
