Suffering From Chronic Back Pain
Yes. I have Chronic Back Pain (Degenerative Disc Disease).. I have tried Epidoral shots, many medicines (Meloicam, tramadol, etc...) and nothing works! Physical therapy, and still my pain is from 6 -10. I also have cervical spine issues. All legally documents (I am on SSI/SSD). I am trying to find a pain management doctor who will willingly prescribe something stronger for me to take. I can't take it any more. I live in the Bronx, NY. Any suggestions?

In your case degenerative disc disease. The treatment you are taking is paliative.It is not curative. At present these treatment are only available.In ayurveda some medicine and oil massage are available. It will be advisable to contact kairali ayurvedi center in Kerala, India. No harm in trying.
