There Ive done a series of shots( in my lumbar spine) and was given several different pain pills to try( vic, tramadol,oxycotin,oxycodone,perc,
methadone) the only one that seemed to work without side affects and take the pain away is perc. I started at 5mg,then7 then 10. I was willing to try any other form of treatment offered to get better so i wouldnt have to take the pills long term, but seems like besides the shots and therapy there isnt any other options(besides surgery.
