You can mostly count on a pain reliever and a muscle relaxer. I use Percocet and Flexoril when I have flare-ups and it works pretty well. Percocet is a narcotic, though, and so some doctors may not prescribe it.

Get some Codeine and some Endep- its what my doc gave me for my back and really you should be lobbying for mechanical lifters- here in Australia we have a "No Lift No Injury" policy- we let the machine do the lifting....Good luck hun.
