Experiencing Flare Up And Taking Percocet For Severe Back And Neck Pain , What Is The Treatment ?

I have been on percocet 10/325 for severe back pain and neck pain. I'm currently taking percocet prescribed 10/325q6hrs. I have a severe flare up and they are not even touching the pain. I didn't know if there is some thing that can be given for these flare ups that is stronger. The percocet help me but not when I have a bad flare up. All the research online that I find is not helpful. Thank you

Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in your arm .

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.

Hi there.
Have you ever considered getting yourself properly investigatied for your ailments.
First of all get an Xray done. Get all necessary blood test done like complete blood count, arthritis panel, .
Take all proper precautions like not lifting heavy weight. if you don't treat the disease from the root it will keep troubling you.
You cannot keep on taking medicines forever.
Get your tests evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon and proceed likewise.
