I ended up getting a spinal cortisone injection for busted l5 disc which seems to have worked. I noticed gp just looked at my current meds and valium was on there and she rescripted me after looking at that ao thought she was throwing pills at me so i didnt ask for opiates. To be honest some endone would have worked for the pain for the time until i could get it fixed. Opiates do have a good use so its a shame they are overlooked .
Never had such excruciating pain. Itll be back when the injection weats off.
