I just went to a pain management Dr for the first time. my mri shows i have a herniated disc. I told the Dr I have been talking ibuprofen and it has not been working and I asked him for something for pain. He said anything stronger then the ibuprofen would be narcotic and he doesn't want to give me that at this point. He wants to try a epidural shot first. If the epidural shot does not work what narcotic pain medication will he most likely start me on and what dose ? 

 
youll  probably start off real low, like lorcets or percocets with oxycontin 20s maybe, you not just gonna go straight to roxy 30s and oc 80s

 
Depends on how well you can bs the doc! Now if you are legit they usually ask you a pain scale dontest then go from there?

 
You are going to have to follow what they want you do and if that is steroid injections then try that first.  If you don't jump thru their hoops they won't prescribe any pain meds.  I had neck surgery and had two disks in my neck replaced and I had to follow their protocol.

 
I see pain management on the 28th. I really am hoping a few shots and and a very low dose of opiates to take only as needed will be all I need. I don't want to be on a daily opiate regiment again.

  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: As much as I would like to see Carson Back win a natty after all he’s been through. I just don’t see it
  7. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: The U isn’t stopping that offense or defense. Even if they do manage to some what dumb down that defense. The offense is just way too explosive! Fkin Indiana who would’ve known lol
  8. M @ meepmoopmeep: Wasn’t fun watching Oregon get curb stomped in the first half but Indiana deserved the win more

  12. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I’m salty myself, being an Ohio state fan, but Miami is winning by the smallest margin. Indiana going to be hard to beat
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: I’m salty about the SEC being eliminated but good for Miami. it was a well fought game by both teams
  14. M @ meepmoopmeep: Imagine being a 10 seed barely squeaking into the playoffs becoming a cinderella team
  15. M @ meepmoopmeep: I think they can beat Oregon, but Indiana is too good
  16. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Who thinks Miami stands a chance vs either team (Oregon or Indiana) my bet is Indiana but you never know
