How Can Severe Pain In The Hips And Lower Back Be Treated?
Don't know if I know enough to ask a coherent question but...I was sent to pain management for help with severe pain in hips, lower back and other areas. They put me on hydrocodone with Tylenol. It does nothing to ease pain but makes me feel like I'm in a brain fog. Is there something else that can help with pain and not be an opioid?

Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In my opinion if you are suffering from back and extended area pain then you should take a muscle relaxant along with pain to ease the stiffness which may increase the pain.
So my prescription would be pain killers .muscle relaxant and physiotherapy.
For more help please post your test reports also.
