Could Surgeries Be Avoided In Neck And Can Be Treated With Medications And Has Stomach Pain?
I am a 57 year old who has had 2 neck surgeries within 2 years over 8 years ago, history of stomach pain and arthritis in both my neck - arms - and hands. June 2012 was in a wreck that totaled me and my Escalade. Long Story short I have been taking Oxycodiacetamino for over 10 years. I need help I do not want to start with a new Dr. only to hear you have to stop taking them. I understand due to the abuse we see and hear about. i need to find the best program for me. i want to avoid surgery and having to take more pills that are not yet abused.
hi.. you should depend more on physiotherapy as your stomach will not tolerate drugs so far...and longer...knowing that your problems are chronic and need long term therapy..surgery can be avoided if your effort and posture are modified to lower the risk of injury ..
