Faith,
I have gone to 2 pain clinics for my back pain. The first (now closed) prescribed a variety of neuro meds like Lyrica, Gabapentin etc but I reacted badly to all I tried. The doctor then did injections to kill a nerve in my back. This gave me years of relief. I went to the 2nd last year. He tried epidurals which lasted only a matter of days. Then sent me to an orthopaedic surgeon who said surgery not the answer. As I reported elsewhere, I got relief from a chiropractor doing spinal decompression and laser treatments. This helped with spinal stenosis, arthritis and sciatica. Unfortunately, I had a bad fall during treatment which caused a flare up of pain from an old untreated fracture at the base of my spine which I am now doing physical therapy and yoga for. I still need to take Vicodin for any heavy work.
What I have looked for and not found is a clinic similar to one my cousin in Ireland found helpful. They stressed alternative treatments such as biofeedback. Leslie324
