Suggest Treatment For Pain In Spine

My Doc has informed me that Hydrocod Will now require a Triplicate RX, for my severe Spine pain. He has recommended a Morhone Pain Patch, yet currently has prescribed Tramadol, which I am not tolerating well. I am on Neurontin for nerve end pain and Cymbalta. I had no probs with Hydrocod, yet am experiencing side effects with the Tramadol. I am female, 68 years of age. What do you recommend?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As the medicine are symptomatic relief for most spine cases and also medicines will be not good on long run as seen by me in the clinical practice, I recommend you to undergo physical therapy and regain the muscle strength and flexibility. By which the pain and aches will be reduced.

Also, your age is 68, so you need a thorough body conditioning for which a Geritric rehabilitation will help to avoid much of the medicines due to aches and pains.
