My drs won't pres pain meds as I take benzodiazepines for extreme trauma. Have been on them for 25 yrs. Clonazepam.
Yrs ago when I initially fell and hurt my back, I went to see pain Drs in NYC.
They had me on a concoction of pain meds. Oxycontin or Avinza or Fentanyl patch in conjunction with soma, & dilaudids, with the clonazepam. I never misused my rx's.
now with the big no opiates scare they don't want to.give to me and I'm usually in agony agony wish I was put out cold agony.
