Hi Carol,

I would call your doctor and ask them what is best for you. They know your

histroy much better than we do here.

I injured my back a few weeks ago and they feel that it is probably a

sprain and not a pulled muscle. The pain is not alleviated by any med really.

Muscle relaxants help to some extent and the physical therapy really helps.

Could liquid pain narcotics be the key? I know liquid tylenol is not enough pain

relief. At a few points I was feeling like an addict because I felt like (but

did not do) taking more of the pills than perscribed to feel better. I do have

an addict personality, but have been following my 12 steps etc. Would asking my

doctor to perscribe my pain medications in a liquid form help the pain? The

medication should work as per my surgeon.

Thank you for any feedback or ideas. I'm not asking for medical advice but just

opinions and experience. Thank you so much for your time.

I take Percoset for my sciatic pain and old back and leg injuries. I don't know

if it comes in liquid form, but I will certainly ask when the time comes. I

only take it if the pain is very bad.
