Have Bulging Discs In The Spinal Cord, Took Opana With Spinal Injection. What To Do?
Hello I have 4 bulging discs with nerve pain. I was in pain management until my doctor lost his license. I got my life back with opana 15mg 3 times a day with spinal injections. Now I can't get any pain management to see me when I tell them what doctor I'm coming from why Is this I'm in kent,ohio. Thank u
hello there. Obviously you cannot continue on this pain medication for a long time. If you do have such a chronic pain then you need to go to a spinal surgeon and get your self evaluated. At this stage of the disease you might have to undergo spinal surgery in the form of disc removal.chronic nerve root irritation as in your case might lead to irreversible nerve damage.hence it is always better 2 remove the cause of nerve root irritation as soon as possible. Good luck
