I have 2 discs out in my back and suffer pain but not all the time. I can live with it most of the time but 3-5 days a month I get a bulge pushing into the nerve channel causing a great deal of pain that I cant handle with normal means. Ive tried literally everything to stay away from an opiate for pain. For 2 years I have done injections, rehab and therapy, massage therapy, chiropractor, accupuncture (and something similar to it), Ive been prescribed, gababentine, tramadol, lyrica, flexiril, tramadol, vicoden, percocet, ibuprofen, valium to address the muscle and nerve issues working together to create the pain. The percocets seem to work the best, although I seem to need 2-4 to make it really go away. I only accepted one prescription for them and that was after being up all night and going to urgent care the next day. I feel like Ive done everything in my power to fix the problem or reduce it and now I've been referred to a pain management place. I have good insurance and can pick my own, so a good recommendation will help. What I want is to be able to approach the subject of taking percocets WITHOUT being seen as an addict. I am in good health and very active so i obviously dont want to be taking this stuff all the time. I just need something that I can take when the pain gets out of my means to control it. I need a good doc that wont treat me like an addict, because Im not. Any suggestions?
And thanks too... I hope I put this in the right forum
