Close Depression

Close Back Pain

2 failed back surgeries and depression associated with it.

Treatments

Bedrest Somewhat Helpful

I can only stay in one position for so long. And it depends on the pain level that day.

Epidural Injection Working / Worked

I've had a few. Sometimes they work for a week or so, other times nothing.

Fentanyl Working / Worked

This worked, but I hated the way it made me feel.

Flexeril Working / Worked

I'm using this now, but only because I can't afford the copay for Skelaxin.

Hydrocodone Working / Worked

Using Lortabs now, but my body is just so used to this stuff that it doesn't work very well anymore.

Morphine Working / Worked

It worked well, but not all doctors are willing to write a script for this.

Physical Therapy Working / Worked

It helped somewhat before my surgeries.

Stretching Working / Worked

I do this every day. And it is very painful.

TENS Working / Worked

Depends on the severity of the pain. If it is really bad, the vibration seems to make it worse.
