I had tried the Buprenorphine 10 MCG 7-day patch but ended up going back to Hydrocodone 7.5 - 325. I may need to change to Oxycodone 10 Mg soon though. I have what a Radiologist just reported on Cervical MRI on October 10, 2024, as "extremely severe foraminal narrowing (spinal stenosis) on right and left C5-6. I am currently waiting to hear from an Orthopedic Surgeon for a consultation after my Cervical MRI is reviewed. I had previously seen this Orthopedic Surgeon in August 2023, but he did not think surgery was required at that time. I am a 67-year-old male that has been dealing with symptoms that have increased in duration and intensity for the past 18 months

I have had three neurosurgeons view my cervical mri. All three recommended surgery. My medicare plan disagreed with the three neurosurgeons. As a result , I am on pain management for my cervical. Currently, I take morphine 30mg er two times daily and hydrocodone 10/325 up to five times a day. The meds do not eliminate the pain, but make it tolerable. I just had a reverse total shoulder replacement and that took my mind off the back pain. I am 67 too. I'm just looking for some relief. I've tried injections nerve blocks and two different spine stimulator. Im at a loss on what to do next.
