How Can Constant Neck Pain Be Treated?

My new pain Mgmt doctor changed my medication removing me from taking tremodal 50 mgs daily and one flexil muscle relaxer daily to now taking 10/325 Norco (1 every 6 hrs for pain as needed) and the muscle relaxer Lorzone 750 mgs. 1/3 in AM and 2/3s at nite. After taking the new megication for 3 weeks I find that the tremodal gave me more relief. I want to go back to taking tremodal and only take 1/3 of the Lorzone can only be taken in 1:3 Dias ages or even 2/3 dosages. I really want to see if I can do better in dealing with my neck pain with less pain medication. I have constant pain on the left side of my neck. My MRI shows that I have foraminal stenosis and facet degenerative changes on the left side of neck.
