Today is it on two meds for pain and muscle relaxant. On pain pill morning and evening on pain meds and one muscle relaxant three times daily.

I am on a pain patch plus a pain pill plus a muscle relaxant and I can still only go grocery shopping, or do laundry, or cook dinner. My pain in so horrible that I am so limited on my daily tasks. And even my husband doesn't understand it, he thinks I should be able to do everything like before. Some days I feel like I've need shot in my lower spinal column, the only thing is, I can still feel the pain running down both legs. The pain the real honey and I feel for you. Some days you just have to push thru and know that all days aren't this bad.
