I have chronic back pain due to faulty radio frequency therapy. I was told that pain management is "trial and error medicine,"and I was the "error." I am taking Hydrocodine Acetaminophen 5-325 ... Yes it works for the pain, but I HATE the way it makes me feel, dry, cotton mouth, total loss of labdio. Moreover, I don't even want to be around people due to the severe pain. I am considering Demerol. I have used it before for severe pain, and it worked with no real side effects. I do not have an addictive personality; I don't even drink wine. It has been acknowledged that the RFT was a faulty proceeder, but the resulting pain has been horrific ...
