And my doctor wants me to take 3-4 percocets a day. I can't take realy good care of my children when on those so I don't take them. My pain sucks and i would rather smoke weed but i have children so i would never put them in jeopardy should i try to get medical marijuana? It is the only thing that takes pain away and lets mr function properly.

slipped discs and already had injections of cortizone
2006-06-17 20:21:02 · update #1
There is a solution against slipped discs: Go for a manual one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effect on the self-healing power of your body are really amazing. Due to the better pressure distribution in your spine, the discs can regenerate completely. It's simply amazing!
Just - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It's really worth travelling far.

I would see another doctor. I am serious. I happen to have had good luck with Physical Therapy. First,though, I saw an Orthopaedic doctor. A good one. Pills can cause problems. I was on so many narcotics following a surgery, that now I'm on pills to undo all the harm the narcotics caused...hives,namely. Seek out a doctor that has been recommended. By the way, my dermatologist who has me on the pills to get rid of hives, told me that the next I need surgery(I hope never) to take as few of narcotics for as short a time as possible. She suggested Botox and/or accupunture...to kill the pain. You might want to do some research and ask a trusted, GOOD doctor. Good luck,friend. I'll pray for you. Marijuana is not the answer. Remember , you have children. You cannot function in a responsible manner when on too many drugs, legal or illegal.

Firstly - what is wrong with your back? Do you have arthritis or just chronic back pain - did it begin with an injury - after carrying your children? ie: pregnancy? Have you had a scan? Or xrays?
Personal experience with oesteoarthritis and back pain - I originally began with taking celebrex 200mg OD (once daily) as well as 10 mg of Flexerol - and became more aware of how I lifted things and got help with those things that I could not. Within a few months of doing those things - as well as loosing weight gradually over the next 6 mths. I can now say that unless the weather creates problems with the arthritis - I am now able to walk, lift (within reason), get up from a sitting position - and wake up feeling more like a real person. One other small thing I did was change my pillow to a softer feather pillow and I always keep two pillows in my bed in order to rest my arm over it and to keep my leg over it - this way my spine is always straighter and not curved. I hope that these suggestions help you - they have me..
Look after yourself - you have a lot of living to do!!

Poor you. I suggest exercise and phisio. I have a bad back too and what helps is lavander oil. If u r allergic then use citrus oil. Then lie on your back and pull your knees to your chest. Bring them closer each exhalation and hold. Hold 4 11 breaths. If that doesn't work I suggest the stuff, if u feel it is right. Try some homeopathic medicine or Chiropractor. Email me if it works.

I would suggest you see a Doctor of Chiropractic and have your spine evaluated. You were not specific about the cause of your back pain and frankly, drugs will only address the symptoms and mask the underlying cause.

See a chiropractor. It can fix the source of the pain rather than cover it with drugs.

Are you a mother?what kind?
all your asking were about having drugs! is that your question?
Go to the doctor and pay him the money to fix your back instead of giving it to drug dealer.
now you have a back ache and by taking the drug you will have a back ache and junkie.
when your child sees you taking the drug he will do the same thing and your whole family will be a drug dealers.
got the point!

and you think 3 to 4 percoset won't put them in danger.... talk to your doc about alternative..i have been a med assistant for years and you won't believe the stories we hear because people are stuck on that drug. some come in high and think they are talking to a new doc...if you are responsible with your children i believe you could...but if you are a druggy(not being sensitive ,,but real ) then you don;t need it. either one
