Suggest Treatment For Chronic Back Pain

I have written this group off totally as I now nedd to be seen for ulcers and also chronic back pain. By the way I have had accupuncture,various exercise programs that helped in the beginning but now make it worse.also had hypnosis you name it I have tried it. Wb md states that vicodin being addictive is a myth. Allmy neurosgeons have told me they same as I am not a candidate for surgery. Also one doctor told me he would remove my entire spine and replace it with a metal one. my response without pain medication I will never make it . Also an acquaintance of mine had that surgery and is now a vegetable
well, that would make sense
Detailed Answer:
ok, aspirin like drugs like meloxicam cause ulcers. I think we see that. Narcotics have no link to alzheimers. Vicodin is a narcotic. Then, people have trouble with narcotics or mostly they do not.
Having pain from spine problems, finding narcotics especially helpful for it, being on about 30-50 mg a day total narcotics, etc. are all reasonable and not indicative of addiction. Furthermore, all of my addicts got into obvious problems within the first year they were on narcotics (buying off street, multiple doctors, progressing to heroin, see.... this is different and these would be bad signs....)
so pain management in theory would be a usual option. I cannot say in your particular case with you particular location if that is going to work.
