pain
"I have a ruptured disc at c6/c7 and the pain became excruciating and really took over my life. I'm a single mother of two small children and work a demanding job. I didn't know how I would make it through the pain got to be so bad. Tramadol didn't even take the edge off of the pain anymore. Saw my pain doctor on Monday and he prescribed Nucynta and Zanaflex. Let me preface it by saying that I pretty much couldn't move on Monday my mobility was so bad. I took both pills immediately upon picking the prescriptions up. Within a half hour I could feel my super tight muscles starting to loosen up a bit. By the 2nd dose of Nucynta the pain went from a 10 to a 3. I have super dry mouth as a side effect but I'll take that over the pain."
