Had Back Surgery. Have Degenerative Disc Disease, Spinostinosis. What Can Help The Pain?

I had back surgery in may 2012. Wondering if there is harm in having a pain patch and taking an oral narcotic? Cause I have been taking pain pill now for about 5yrs, and they do not phase my pain. I have degenerative disk disease, spinostinosis, and thinning of my spine. Have to see my doctor tomorrow, and just need to know how to go about talking to him about still staying in constant pain. I do not have a daily activity life-style. Have any suggestions?

Hi
Thank for choosing HCM, You are taking pain killing pill since 5 years, now you wont get much relief from this pill you will have to either increase the dose or take potent narcotic pain killing pill, in my opinion if you can hold your self in state of pain and let the threshold of pain comes (Top level of intensity of pain ) then it will decline slowly it self, it is difficult but try it, meditation is also a good, you can try this too, discus it with your doctor ask him for alternative remedy for pain, have nice day.
