Suggest Cure For Severe Lower Back Pain
I have severe lower back pain due to a bulging disc and a pinched sciatic nerve.I am currently on 50mic fentanyl patches every three days and 10-325 norco (60 per month).Every Dr. I have seen will not put me on anything strong enough to work.What the heck am I to do? This is really paying a toll on my depression by loosing my job,can't hardly do anything or go anywhere,on disability and now I can't get any Dr. to help me where I need it.My depression is bad enough that I need medication but all the ones I have been on made me worse.I need some serious help with my pain.
