Had Back Surgeries, Muscle Spasms. Prescribed Hydrocortisone, Oxycodone And Valium. Will It Help?
I have had 2 back surgeries during this year. I for bulging discs and most recently one for a L2-L3 bone fusion. i was prescribed hydrocortisone 10/325 five times daily after my 1st surgery that did not relieve the initial pain problem, and turned over to a pain management clinic for 6 months. After my back fusion recently this week, I am prescribed 2 ea. 10/325 oxycodone 4 times daily along with 10mg valium for muscle spasms 3 times daily for muscle spasms. Should I expect to see better pain relief going forward? Thank you for all of your help

hi and welcome to healthcare magic....
diseases of the spine or surgery on the spine for any cause,causes muscles attach to spine to go into spasm,which is the cause of pain.....
treatment regimen should contain a skeletal muscle relaxant and a pain killer of moderate efficacy....
vallium 10 mg is a skeletal muscle relaxant ,and oxycodone is amoderate pain killer .....
so the regimen is the best one...and hope a pain will go away soon....
