So, your pain is gone or much reduced. You’re feeling better and moving more freely. Do you still have a back problem?
I’m not one for enduring pain or recommending you do either. I am curious as to why people with back pain, however continue to take pain meds knowing full well that the condition that is producing their pain is still present.
I am dismayed at the continued writing of prescriptions, for back and joint pain, including opioids, while not addressing the conditions that are creating the pain.
Don’t get caught up in this medical situation only to have your condition continue to degenerate and needing potentially invasive procedures to correct the underlying problem.
Your thoughts?
