Suggest Treatment For Chronic Back And Neck Pain

Hello, I have been talking Morphine 15 Sulfate 4 times a day for a couple of days years and Had my chronic back and neck pain managed. I stopped taking them because l broke my Heal last April and am in a lot of foot pain so I wanted to see where I was at on the pain scale without Morphine. My Dr is having me take 500 mil on Naproxen 2 times a day and also 750 mil of Methocabomol 3 times a day. I am suffering so bad that I don t sleep and it is difficult to function. She wants me to try this for 3 months. It s been 1 month and my pain is back and it is making me sick because it hurts so bad. Please advise

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 a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan to make a diagnosis.

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