Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently suffered a lower back injury & due to continued severe pain I went back to my local hospital where they gave me Baclofen 10mg. I have been on Demerol 50mg tablets for past several years taking a max of 2 pills per day. Is it safe to continue my Demerol with the new Baclofen?
"As" per your problem is concerned first I will tell you that both drugs increases your sedation level so better try to avoid baclofen with Demerol. So in my opinion by taking pain killer is not the solution at all. Go to the root cause of pain and what is your MRI scan report indicate and how serious your injury?so to know in detail you need a physical examination by a doctor like a neurologist in your area. There are various options available for it which depends upon exact cause.
Hope that helps
