Pain Management for Disc Issue

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

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?
