Back, Neck, Knee and Arthritis Pain?
January 7th, 2010 by Zandra Jones, RN BBA
I had an accident a few years ago and tore up my knee which caused me to limp badly, resulting in messing up my back (or so the Chiro said).
I was prescribed 60+ mg of Hydrocodone daily (but I took well over 100 mg) and have since quit taking it (one of the hardest things I’ve done!). I have moved to a small town in OK and the docs here won’t prescribe pain meds except for right after surgery. So, I had to quit.
Is there anything at all I can take over the counter that will help my pain? I’ve tried Tylenol and Advil but I’m gonna destroy my liver at this rate and still not get rid of the pain.
I have a bulging disc in my back, less than 1/2 the cartilage in my knee and something wrong with my neck.
Help?
Thanks!

Talk to your doctor about alternatives to medication. You could see a physical therapist or physiatrist regarding treatment. The pain medicine treats the pain, not the condition. You want to stop the pain by making your body more efficient – improving flexibility, mobility, strength, and endurance can help.
