I have been thru a year of treatment and clean for 2 years. Finally referred
to pain managment MD who is reluctant
to prescribe opioids
to treat chronic pain. Tried duragesic patch - 25 mcg TOO strong and 12 did nothing. I've also had 4 cervical steroid epidurals which offered fair relief but can't have more at this time (also concerned about amt of steroids in body and effects). I have done P.T., yoga, chiro, heat/ice, yoga, meditation, new mattress/pillows, acupuncture.
