You should have your doctor refer you to a pain specialist. In the end, you'll have to learn how to deal with it . I put off the surgery and made life style changes after trying the drug route The flexeril just knocked me out. I became addicted to the narcotics and wound up with a serious alcohol abuser . Nothing helped until I got some pain therapy. Best of luck.

You can try taking 800 mg of ibuprofen three times a day until the doctor gets back. You need to have back surgery because the longer you take all that dope the less its going to help you and then you're going to be an addict if you are not already one. and that is just what the hospital was thinking when they told you to take ibuprofen. It will help you if you give it time to work.
