Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been on pain meds for 30 years. I am 61. My Doctor and I want to fix my back, but after 30 years I dont know of any new technology to replace discs. Fusing them is not the way to go. Would a Fentanyl patch work ? Is there any new less invasive surgery ? My goal is stop the pain then stop the pills. Can you suggest anything ? Phil.
