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.

  19. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: Yeah, lots of people don’t have a team and this season had some players put on the bench with some nasty fouls charged by the people watching with courtside seats. I know he was nearly assigned some state-subsidized housing but walked off the court on his date all alone, beat himself off, too. But with home security incident and other players getting thrown out the game for having too much screen time here and elsewhere, he must have just needed to quit the game and not get captured in the love
