Pain Management for Disc Issue
My husband has a disc issue in his back and a nerve inflammation in his arm as a result of the disc issue. It causes him moderate to severe pain on a daily basis. He is taking Lyrica and doing physical and laser therapy, as well as seeing a doctor. He gets stomach issues when he takes pain medicines. Muscle relaxants do not help him with pain relief. As a result, he smokes a lot for the pain relief. I really want him to be in less pain. But is smoking really the only way we can deal with this?
Greetings, sorry for the pain. Not to worry. Pain killers are useless, just stop them. Your husband has flexibility issues with regards to joints that is the reason he has back pain. Don't worry about disc bulge, it is given too much a hype.
