What do you do when pain medications become less effective?

I have severe degenerative disc disease and have had over twenty surgeries in the last 15 years. I have chronic back pain. I have been on Morphine for 10 years to manage my pain and I have Percocet for when the pain breaks out more severe. I can say there is no magic bullet, my pain meds make my pain manageable, doesn’t stop it completely. If you feel your meds don’t help, try not taking them and you will see that they do work.

I feel so bad for you!! Why did the drs approve all those surgeries? I have to take them, I mostly take Trazadone for nerve pain, 25 MG to 200. Not all at once!! 100 before bed, I sleep through the night. If use the bathroom, hurts again so maybe 25 mg. Take Care

Hi I’ve had DDD now for over 15yrs. I’ve been mostly taking MS Cotten and morphine. I’ve found that this is as good as it gets I’ve tryed everything PT. Stretching
Walking, I can’t run. I have to pace myself not do too much in a day physical but I read a lot. Also migraines neck pain sciatica.
Plus PTSD from sex abuse at 9yrs old till 12yrs old. I’m told to be kind to yourself but I still want to do more and get in trouble moving at all for days. I’m still learning to meditate and be kind.
