Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain
I am having horrible low back pain. Have been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis. Motrin is not working, muscle relaxers are not working, and my TENS unit decided to break on me today. I have found some Flector patches that I used to use but have an expiration date of 04.2011. Are they still safe to use? Thank you for reviewing my question. I was unaware that I would have to pay for advice and cannot due so. Again....thank you anyway. :(
