Ask your doctor about sending you to a pain management clinic.
I am only 28 years old ya know and this is my second back surgery the frst one was minor /discectomy on L5 S1, but they all add up to be a problem in the future. I hate PAIN allergic to it! but I get by on alot of aleve and crappy muscle relaxers how long do you think it has to be for my doctor to give me that referral i mean if i have to wait 3 months what do i do till then go to a family doctor for meds? but thanx for writing
I dont know how long it would take to get an appointment.
No you should NOT have live in pain and I bet therapy would help also. You may have to change doctors until you find one that will work with you.
