What Causes Intense Lumbar Pain Despite Taking Oxycontin And Oxycodone?

Yes, Dr. Thank You so very much for your service. What a Blessing you are. I had several falls some months ago but had no consequences from them (that I was conscious of). I see a pain specialist for severe lumbar pain that is backed up by MRI results. I am on OxyContin 60 MG. Q 8 hrs.as needed and 30 MG Oxycodone for breakthrough pain. My tailbone pain surpasses my devastating lumbar pain and hard touches this pain at all. I am scheduled for an injection 8/1. I am planning to secure an appt. With an orthopedic surgeon. ASAP to see what kind of injuries I have. ANYTHING helpful you have is much appreciated . Deb (retired Nurse)

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
dear madam,
low back pain is experienced by majority, it is to br worried if you have any sensory disturbances or weakness of your legs or urinary or bowel disturbances or if pain persists even after taking 3 weeks of bed rest.

i recommend back strenghtening exercises apart from the pain medications,
and also sitz bath for relieving most likely your coccydynia.
pain medications help short term i.e when they are in circulation or locally when being given, it is the physiotherapy exercises that help you in long term.
I find this answer helpful
