My back has NUMEROUS problems as well as my neck (e.g. herniated disks, degenerative disk disease, hyperkyphosis (which makes my neck worse), sciatica) and because of my immobility (still on a cane) my calves and thighs are in atrophy...It hurts when I stretch, my legs quiver when I stand up, my leg almost went out on me when I got out of my car earlier today, I'm just always hurting from my neck/shoulders, all the way down my right leg. It feels as though a knife is being shoved down my right buttock down halfway to my knee. I know people with lesser injuries with stronger meds than me...
And if I want to take something stronger, I have to pay more for morphine, because gabapentin (one of my meds) lowers the BA of hydrocodone (morphine is the next step up from hydro in the states).
And I'm sorry about your migraine beach; I get them from time to time and they just disable me worse than I already am lol...
Sorry about double posting, I just did this to avoid TL;DR.
