pain
"I have been on may different types of pain medicines for over 10 years now.  I have degenerative nerve damage since a young age.  Also crushed, herniated and bulging discs in my entire lower lumbar region.  Have been in unmanageable pain many times before trying MS Contin.  This seems to give me the best possible relief while still allowing me to function in society. The pain is now under control and I do live a normal life.  I take Soma, a muscle relaxer, and that seems to help when I overdo things.  I am perscribed 4 of the 60mg in the a.m. and 4 in the p.m. without side effects."
