hi
I have a view that physical therapy works well for chronic pains and narcotic or related drugs are not a solution but only a palliative remedy during exacerbations of severe pain only and therefore may be limited to such situations only.If some nerve is implicated in back or neck due to osteophytes then surgical removal of nerve irritation/compression offers a better choice than to depend on pain medication.
It is best to leave the choice of medicine/combination to treating doctor as additives are often necessary in some patients
