Sorry to hear of your problem, you need to go to a pain clinic. I live in PA, I had my surgery in 1971 in Canada. My back started hurting 10 years ago. I do 30mg of oxycodone 5 times a day. But my niece lives in AZ and she has to go to a pain management clinic to get her pain meds, it depends on which state you live in, its why I am stuck in PA, even now I can't find a doctor. And mine is going to retire soon, I have no idea what I am going to do. I am so indicted. I can't stop doing them for over 24 hours, or I get sick. I wish I never would of started them. Have you tried a tens unit. It give small electric shocks to the area and get some relieve. My old doctor told me to do pull ups, that does work by strengthen you back muscles, yoga works some what. But pull ups work the best. I did them for six months and my pain decreased by 50 percent. hope this helps some. I know what your going thou all to much.
