Darlene Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 i have a herniated disc, L5S1. i have tried motrin 800, percocet 5/325, flexeril, mobic, naproxen, and tylenol. in the ER they gave me an injection of toradol, a percocet, flexeril and that didnt work either. i ve tried pt and chiropractors too. don't want to do surgery because i know a few people who had surgery and it didnt work, and dont want to do steroid injections because of that outbreak that killed several people. is there a med that can help me deal with daily pain?

abbyw Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I don't live in the States, but my mother just did her first steroid injection. She said that it did not solve it, but she has been able to sleep for the first time in months. and without meds. She was living on Advil, Motrin and more. If there is a way to check where the meds come from, I would consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeSprings Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I use Lidocaine patches. Not a complete answer, but they take the edge off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
