How Can Severe Pain In The Lower Back Be Treated?

I got 3 herniated disks in my back on workmens comp. because I fell at work. On top of that they want me to find a job. Haven t been paid since October I have no money to get around and I go to the bathroom on myself. And 4 months ago I tripped on my cane and dislocated my shoulder and the bone is sticking out my ski the only thing helping me is Roxycodone 30 mg blue and workmens comp don t want to pay. I can still go to a dockers for my back but got no way to get there I m a mess but not abusing the drug and that makes my back and shoulder fell a little better. I need to try to get pills because it hurts all over and nobody wants to give OxyContin so right now I m done. Nobody should go through pain it sucks bad I can build a house and now can t tie my shoes.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
you have got 2 separate problems which needs attention. 1. shoulder dislocation
2. lower back pain with herniated disc.

first of all shoulder dislocation needs reduction by closed or open reduction on urgent basis. if dislocated shoulder remain non reduced it may lead to many complication like nerve palsy and muscle atrophy. please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby you as soon as possible.
for back problem I would like to know how you came to diagnosis. is it by MRI report of lower spine? if yes detailed mri report to check for severity of nerve compression is needed to guide proper treatment. please upload your report.
Meanwhile continue your.Medications.
