I'm 83 Years Old And Have Stenosis And Bulging Discs
I'm 83 years old and have stenosis and bulging discs in the lower back and some arthritis there also. I do have acid reflux disease. My back doctor prescribed this medication along with 1 to 2 hydrocodone 5mg/acetaminophen 325mg tab as needed for the lower back pain to use for 2-3 days at a time. Could this have an adverse affect on my acid reflux disease. I have noticed a sweaty, weak, shakey, feeling when I've used it for 3 days. However, this medication has really reduced my lower back pain from on a scale of 1 to 10, to a .5 I've had this back condition for over 10 tears. I believe I inherited this condition from my father.
