Suggest Medication For Severe Degenerative Disk Disease
I have severe degenerative disk disease. I am not a candidate for surgery per my orthopedic physician. I have had numerous nerve blocks and it doesn t help . My pain is at the L5 disk. I take Lortab 750/500 but that doesn t help either. Is there any pain medications that WILL help? I am under a physicians care.

pain killers and immobilization in lumbo-sacral brace may ease pain , sometimes traction to both lower limbs can be alternative.
