Suggest Medication For Chronic Pain In The Neck, Back And Knee

I have chronic pain from 2 herniated discs . C 5-5 C 6-7, chronic arthritis in neck and back and knee. And now new injuries from fainting twice on baclofen 20mg. My Aarp will not pay for soma, which I didn t want., or robaxxin 750mg, which was actually helping somewhat. I have ulcers, so the Percocet 10, and it barely helps, is gonna give me ulcers again because of the acetaminophen and caffeine keeps me up, and I m a f/t student in 3 weeks. Oh and the baclofen messes with my memory. Tramadol is useless, already tried that. I actually was already told I need surgery. In 2004 by Ortho surgeon.. But I have obstrctive sleep apnea. The healing part... And 10 years into menapause. Bone density test required. And when I fainted, I was standing. I fell back almost 10 ft and smacked my head on the corner of the table. Then my back and the rest of me onto the floor. I didn t know what happened. I thought it was a fluke, I was tired . So I went on the patio to eat my blueberry muffin, as I was starving. And next thing I know , smack, onto the even harder& colder pavement. Now my good knee is a bit sore as well. And I have several bruises on my right arm.my left sight of my back down to my hip is is really sore. Thank you.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. You might steroid injection to the spine for best results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
