Severe back pain & migrain

[Guest guest]

I am in such severe pain in my back tonight, it has actually hurt all day and I

have had a headache building too that has officially turned into a migrain. All

I have for pain pills is some tylenol w/codeine from an operation last year. I

took a half of one but it hasn't touched my pain. It hurts to breathe in and

out. I hate when it gets this bad nothing helps and come to find out from my PT

therapist who I saw last night my regular doctor is very anti drug and that is

why she has not prescribed me anything for pain. I am literally sitting her

twitching from the muscle spasms in my back.

Barbara you need to go to the ER when it gets that bad, they will give you an

injection of pain med. and muscle relaxer then a prescription to take home. When

you wait for itto get that bad pain med won't help.

Exactly what I learned in my many years as an addictions program developer and

manager. Barbara S in Ct

rediculous to be in that much pain and not have a pain medication. That

according to my doctor at the Mayo Clinic is inhumane. I would start shopping

until you find a doctor that understands chronic pain. A study recently

published states patients with chronic pain do not become addicted .

I totally agree with you and have read several studies that states the same

thing, and its what my Dr tells me. I also feel that way is if I have a really

good day I don't even think about pain meds.

Dont snort it or inject it, thats what most addicts do with pills. I've been

told by many physicians the same thing, there is a difference between addiction

and dependence. If your in pain and dependent on pain meds u don't get a high

you get some relief, if there is no pain and using pain meds u r addicted.

Take care
