human
My name is Greg I am 44 and I ruptured a disck in my back when I was 13 or 14 I ve been om pain killers for over half of my life for the last ten years I ve been on disability and this really depresses me. When I was put on disability my doctor put me on 100mcg per hr duragesic patch and 8 mgs of hydromorphone every 4 to 6 hrs. Since then my insurance wouldn t pay for my scripts till I spent so much out of my own pocket and I could not afford them anymore so my dr. Put me on 100 mg MS Contin twice a day and needless to say it did not help any. I m so tired of being grumpy with my kids cause I m hurting so bad.most days I wished God would just call me home.is there any thing out there that is cheaper that will help me not to Be so missureable and Cary on a half way normal life with my kids so when they say hey Dad lets go fishing I can say yes Dad feels good enough to go fishing with you let s go? Please help me figure out a way so that I can enjoy my children please and thanks to any one who can

Welcome to Healthcare-MagicGreetings of the dayPresence of pain not responding to analgesics, worsening of pain in your case are valid indication for surgical intervention like discectomy. There is no point in suffering the pain. I suggest you to discuss this option with your treating physician.Take careRegardsDr T ShobhaMBBS MD
