Getting Disability Due To Severe Back Pain. Can Vicodin Be Continued ?
I have had severe back pain for years,I've had injections,epiderals and been to a pain clinic that supplied me with vicodin for about two years,then wanted to put me on Exalgo,a step up from vicodin.I'm trying to get disability do to my condition.Is there any way I can continue the vicodin until I get my disability without taking the stonger scrip?
HI Thank for asking to HCM If I would be your doctor then I would never ask you to take much pain killer medicine because analgesic causes great danger to body instead pain should be managed with self controlling, increasing tolerance power physiotherapy this will equally gives the same result as one gets after taking potent analgesic, take care have nice day.
