How many people out there have had this surgery done? and what is the outcome?
Also has any one had a Spinal cortizone shot? and if so any side effects?

I have been asked to get both of these done to myself, but because I am a mother I need to weight the options first any serious answers appreciated

The ER gave me Percocet for bain pain the other night and I have an appointment with my family doctor tomorrow and I would like the same medication as it has been the ONLY pill to work, and I have tried every over the counter pain killer and muscle relaxers and none of it has helped except the Percocet. Is there anyway I can demand the same pills from my dr since they were prescribed to me at the ER?

I will make sure to ask and spell everything correctly for the jerk who just said my story has so many holes in it. My story is a true and painful one. i ment to say i was in the hospital for 3-5 days, NOT 35 days. They do have record of my drugs, and I am on FULL disability because of my CHRONIC pain. I don't hallucinate, i hope you are never in my situation. BUT if you are someday, PLEASE!!!!Remember how crule, and uncaring you were to me. What comes around, goes around. I have a real problem. The drugs I am documented as taking, didn't show up in my urine. So they want to take me off of them. That is it. You are a RUDE, JERK. Thank you to everyone else. God bless.

He drinks plenty of water, his catscan is saying that nothing is wrong. He used to be very depressed. The pain pills don't help, the therapists don't either. Please help me, I want to help him fix this.

Has anyone tried taking ginger for migraine headaches? Did it help? If so, how much did you take and was it at the onset of a headache or daily for prevention? Thank You!

I need help, I have had surgery once had to have a disc removed and now pain back again, I have went to doctorr after doctor and they say I will always hurt, but they wont give me anything but Ultram, Tramadol, Ultracet, and crap like that, I do believe since I moved to this small town that they stereotype me cause of my many tattoos, I know that narcotics are highly addictive but I have to have something to help me with this pain. I dont have insurance to go to any real doctors that will fix me for good and I cant get medicaid cause they say we make too much but still I cant afford insurance.

Someone, Please help me, it seems that everyone else can get pain management but me, whats the deal ? Any doctors out there ?

I am 29 years young, growing up I was stupid and lifted anything and everything and now I am paying for it and no one cares. I had three herneated discs early 2005 and I started to see my family doctor, and he put me on pain meds and sent me to get an MRI, the discs were really bulging. I then did their 3 shots in my back and that only seem to make it worse. Finally in May of 2005 I was doing something and a disc literally exploded, and I went to my knees and couldnt walk, wife finally took me to a surgeon and He done another MRi and russhed me to surgery the very next morning, I had a disc explode and a piece wrapped around my main nerve cord and had me paralized.
To shorten up this story, surgery went fine, I went home the very next day, felt great for about two months, stopped taking pain meds (they had me on Oxycontin, cause pain was so severe before) now pain again , doctors wont do anything and I dont have insurance anymore, they wont give me pain meds, what do I do?

He wants to do injections. I was wondering if anyone else has facet arthritis or knows of any other effective treatment options? Besides meds. I'm not interested in using pain meds.

my neck, across my shoulders and down my spine. I take Zanaflex, Tramadol, Lyrica on a daily basis and Vicodin occassionally. I need more relief but haven't found anything that totally works. Sometimes I feel like everything isn't connected, being short circuited. Anyone have similar symptons and if so what do you do or take to get relief?

Does anyone know how to numb your leg? Pain killers won't work, and I don't want to be able to feel it. I know it's confusing, I don't know how to say it without making it sound strange......

Please help
Thanx

This just happened around lunch time today. I was driving and I thought the heater was really heating up my leg, however, I am not in the car anymore and the outer part of my calf is on fire and aching. It is kinda scaring me. I've been back and forth to the doctor about my current health problems...which are being tracked down, hopefully coming to a diagnosis. So I am used to weird things going on in my body, just not this one.... Any suggestions on what to do or why this is happening. It couldn't be a dvt, could it?

I can understand the cause of sharp stabbing pains, they are because of the muscles that are contracting...

...but what about all those excruciating aches? The way your spine feels as though its about to snap at any moment? The way your legs feel like they've marched 1,000 miles? The way your stomach feels as though its being crushed!?

Why do the ACHING pains occur?

I asked earlier why Quinine had been discontinued. I know this has been discontinued, I tried to get my refill today and the pharmacist told me it had all been taken off the shelf. Said to ask my Doc why and to see what alternatives there were. I took mine for cramps......................
