    • Close Back Pain

      I suffer from Chronic Pain due to a Lower Back Injury 7yrs ago. I"ve missed out on the past 7yrs of my daughters life growing w/ her & that really hurts. I don't feel 30, I feel like I'm 80. Chronic Pain has changed my life.

      Treatments

      Carisoprodol Working / Worked
      Didn't help at all.
      Cortisone (Injection) Working / Worked
      Didn't help.
      Epidural Injection Working / Worked
      More pain after the injection, but got better, only lasted a week or so. The relief from it.
      Fentanyl Considering
      PM doc was going to put me on it, But then changed his mind due to I have olive skin color & he though that I stay in the sun a lot. I told him that it's my natural skin tone & he said OK & that was it. (whatever)
      Fioricet Working / Worked
      Don't help with any pain, it was giving to me for headaches & it didn't help w/ head or back.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Yes,Yes,Yes, I use it daily & nightly. Dur from using it soo much I have burned my back all up.Your mouth would drop if you seen it. May be I'll post a picture. I'm not proud of it by no means. It would just show you that you need to use it right, Don't use it like I did.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      It worked well at first, maybe the first year & a half, then after that it didn't work as well as it did at first, so I was whiched to something else.
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      No Help.
      Morphine Considering
      I'm afraid it's going to make me sleep all day & that's not what I want or need.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      Made it worse, like it was aggravated my back more.
      Radiofrequency Ablation Working / Worked
      I had this done 5 times every time it worked some what for me about 6 months. But the only problem side affect from it is when the nerves grow back they hurt even more than what they did. You cant keep having this procedure done cause your nerves wont grow back the way they are suppose to. They will grow like tree roots cause more pain im suffering from that NOW. Not Fun.
      Relaxation Working / Worked
      Sometimes, But can't lay or sit for long periods.
      Stretching Working / Worked
      It made the pain worse, like it just aggravated my back more.
      TENS Working / Worked
      Did not work.
    • Close Chronic Pain

      I'm 30yrs old & I'm a Chronic Pain suffer going on 7 yrs now. Lower back injury is the cause due to other factors now.

      Treatments

      Heat Working / Worked
      Yes,Yes,Yes, Love the heating pad but it has caused really bad damage & burning to my back to where if you seen it your mouth would drop. I'm not prod of it. But heat for me helps. The heating pad for me is an addiction.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Worked at first, then stopped working as well just like the percocet.
      Lidoderm Working / Worked
      They work a little, But not all the time.
      Lyrica Too Soon to Tell
      But it does make me tired, I don't like that. I going to give it another week or so to see if it goes away.
      Marijuana Working / Worked
      Never tried it, but i heard a lot of people that use it say it's very helpful for pain. I don't know if I would try it .
      Methadone Working / Worked
      It worked for me when I first starting taking it, but being on it for 4yrs it doesn't help all that well by it's self.
      Mobic Working / Worked
      Did Nothing, waste of money.
      Morphine Considering
      I'm just afraid it's going to make me tired during the day & I don't need that.
      Nerve Blocks Working / Worked
      Had done many times & they only worked a little for about a week. I quit getting them.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      Percocet helped me but started getting use to it & it stared not to work as well.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      Made the pain worse, it just aggverated my back more.
      Radiofrequency Ablation Working / Worked
      I have had this done about 45 times now it helped me for about 6months or so. The only problem is you cant keep having this procedure cause after so many times doing it your nerves dont grow back rightthey grow back like tree roots to where it cause you more pain in the long run. Im suffering from that now theres nothing to fix it.
      TENS Working / Worked
      Didn't work at all. Would not buy on of those machines.
