Hi everyone Jason here in Vancouver BC, Canada, I started having problems with my back about 3 yrs ago and had to wait 1 yr and seeing 2 specialists for my DR to give me pain meds. ie, percodan, emtec and flexoril cocktail twice daily. When the specialists have sent him letters asking him to increase my pain meds all I get back from him is" I will not contribute to you becoming addicted" I dont understand why if the pain cocktail isnt working and only giving me a little relief and Im havng to suffer in pain all day what are my options??? I use ice gels and over the counter pain patches as well and try hot baths regularly but it only does so much. I regularly have to apply the ice gels sometimes every 15 mins. I dont know what else to do and I dont want to be in pain anymore. does anyone have any ideas or suggestions??? thanksView Thread
