How Can Severe Backache Be Treated?
I had disc fusion C345 5 days ago, and am on Cyclobenzaprine 10 MG, Acetaminophen/cod #3 300/30 mg). I have serious back pain getting stronger. I have other pain meds on hand. Can I take either Gabapentin 600 mg or Hydrocodone/Ace7.25/325 or Tramadol/apap 37.5/325 mg as well?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, you should take Gabapentin drug with the combination of Tramadol and Aspirin medicines.
Your backache is also associated with neural pain. Therefore, Gabapentin will be an effective drug in case.
Tramadol acts on brain pain centers. So, it will reduce the pain threshold.
Hence, you can take gabapentin and tramadol. Also apply ice packs and warm water pad alternatively on back.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
