    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have degenerative disc disease diagnosed 15 yrs ago. progressively gotten worse. I recently herniated 2 discs in my neck, having severe nerve pain. Surgery is on the horizon, only 3 MDs in our area on our ins making me wait until August. Have been on Norco for back, oxycontin recently for neck/shoulder/arm/hand pain ins does not cover, costs me $3.33 a tab. Just put on 25mcg patch wondering about jacuzzi. Couldn't I take patch off when in jacuzzi and put 1 on after body returns normal temp?

      Treatments

      Flexeril Somewhat Helpful
      Flexeril causes me to sleep. One tablet will keep me zonked 24 hours.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Have been on Percocet, Vicodin, Norco. Norco worked okay for back, but lots of side effects, and did not work for herniated discs pain.
      Naproxen Not Working
      This did not work and just made my stomach hurt.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      Oxycontin CR worked well, except made me so drowsy and insurance would not cover costs.
