I really need help..I have herniated my L4, L5, and S1. and apperntly my L3 is going..I partially got hurt at work so i am curently being covered by workmans comp. Needless to say im not getting very good help..for the last 7 months all i've been seeing a pain management doctor, my personal physician, an orthopedic surgen, and a spinal specialist..I went from being told absolutley no surgery to now I am a deffinite candidite..So I lost a few pounds like I was asked to and am going to physical therapy 3 times a week..The pain in excruiating,it feels like someone is sticking a knife in my back and twisting..It keeps me up every night, so I'm not sleeping..All they keep doing is pumping me with pain medicine..I dont want to take it anymore..I'm curently taking percocet 10/325 but my tolerance has went through the roof..1,2,or 3 pills don't relieve any pain..So pretty much i have to take 4-5 of them at the same time to get any relief...Besides that they have me switching off with OxyContin 80mg. One a day.. I'm not taking them together, on a day that i dont take 1 ill take the other..Ive been trying to ween myself off but i am having an extremely hard time doing it..If someone can point me in the right direction on how to fully get off the meds i would really appreciate it..But just let it be known, I havent went 1 day in a few months without taking something..
