What Is The Cure For Chronic Back Pain And Neck Pain?
I have chronic back and neck pain, along with Thyroid edema (chronic) and I have a hard time finding a doctor in my area that will treat it with pain medicine. Its the only thing that works - I have tried every over the counter medicine and they do not work. What can I do?

Hi,
Chronic neck and back pain may be due to spine problems. Most common is spondylosis but a complete clinical examination is required. You may require MRI spine depending on the type of pain. If analgesics are not responding then pain may be due to nerve compression. You have to consult a local orthopedic doctor to find out the cause and treatment accordingly.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
