Hello.... I was in a car accident 5 years ago and shattered my neck and 2 discs in my lower back. I recently had to stop taking oxys (not my choice), anyways I wear a collar because one of the bones didn t heal straight. Wore halo for 5 months. I need surgery on my back but am afraid at 35% of it working... so I have had therapy on my back and do my excercises however my back is constantly in pain, my problem right now is that I ve been using Icy Hot all the time, and this morning there is this bruise or burn and I cannot use icy hot, but what can I put on this thing on my lower back... it was helping me but I don t do much either. bacitracin? what do you suggest? I no longer drive either.
