I have a bulging disc in my neck, and lower back, due to a car accident.  I am having a spasm, or pinched nerve in my neck right now, and am going crazy with the pain.  My doctor prescribed me 2 narcotic pain killers, vicoden, and valume, both of which, do nothing to help.  I have been asking for somthing else, to get me thru this pain, until my treatment with the chiropractor is easier on me. i have a very high pain tolerance, and tolerance for everything else. I have been applying ice, and have myself hooked up to a tens unit.  does anyone else have any suggestions?  i am looking for a good narcotic, or homeopathic, just somthing to get me thru this, as i am having a really hard time.... please help!

Thanks....pam
