alright, so im a 22 year old male with no medical history. i have never been to a hospital, never been to a doctor other than check ups. only had narcotic pain killers prescribed following dental surgery.
anyways, i am a very frequent mountain biker and lately my minor back pain has gotten significantly worse. this happened last season and i went to the chiropractor (my mother is a massage therapist and she works with one) three times which had little to no noticable effects.
i was curious what a general practicioner would do. i am willing to get x-rays and whatever it takes to see if there is a real problem. i'd rather solve it than mask it with medication, but until that occurs, would someone prescribe me something other than 800mg ibu or 500 mg naproxen, etc? NSAIDS give me no relief anymore, after routine use following 20-30 mile rides for quite a while.
i feel that telling a doctor, "NSAIDS just dont work, i need something 'better'" just seems sketchy, especially considering my age. i am being 110% honest saying that i want these pills for nothing put true pain management. to be fair, yes i have used hydrocodone recreationally a handful of times in my past, but that is all.
doing my daily routine is sometimes near impossible with the levels of recent pain.
any help would be much appreciated. thanks.
