I'm 26 years old and have two children that are under the age of 5 right now I'm on ultram 50mg , witch is not helping any more (I've been on for 4months now) Also, I have 2 bulging disc in the cervical area. I've done physical therpy for 9wks no help. when I'm having a bad day with pain I usually end up with a opticlar migraine , Say the wrong words when talking, and blurred vision .

You will be given some type of anti-inflammatory ...motrin,celebrex,mobic,lodine etc...that you take every day..if pain is bad enough you may also get some type of narcotic pain pill..lortab PRN usually...if your muscles are spasming you may get soma or flexeril PRN.
Moist heat helps too.

i have this except all of my disc's are squeezing my spinal cord from c1 into my top lumbar discs, I use Kadian which is time release morphine cyclobenzaprine = muscle relaxers naproxen, glucosamine. This allows me to walk and lift my arms. a Good doctor would have given you proper pain control and you wouldn't be asking about it here.

If the problem is mild, treatment may be as simple as physical therapy and the use of a cervical collar. If severe, treatments include laminectomy, hemilaminectomy, or decompression.
**If not see a doctor**
