Suggest Medication For Chronic Pain In The Neck And Back
I am a 49 year old female with degenerative disc disease throughout my entire spine along with scoliosis in my thorasic and severe rotoscolosis in lumbar and an overcurvature in my neck which causes daily headaches. My bone denisty has gone from a T score of -2.1 to -1.7 in three years with osteoarthritis. I have severe chronic pain throught my neck and back which is now radiating down my right arm and into my left leg. I have been taking norco 10/325, robaxin 750 and fiorecet for years which helps make the pain tolerable. Could you please suggest a doctor who will be able to treat both the pain medication and normal issues such as sinus, bronchitis, blood pressure issues?

Dear- I reviewed your medical question in detail and will give you my advise. First of all, any primary care doctor as family practice or internal medicine can help you with back pain and regular illness as sinus and blood pressure. However, if your back pain is severe and is getting worse, you will need a reevaluation with MRI of lumbosacral to see if you have spinal stenosis or bulging disc with nerve trapment. In this particular situation, a back specialist is better trained for the treatment.You should take calcium supplements to help your bones,
