Suggest Solution For Back Pain
my back
I am a 24 year old male, I weigh worlds. 195 lbs. I have major back pain, so much it will make me cry. not very common for an army ranger. my doctor put me on vicodin to kill the pain, however, while in a different part of the states, another doctor put me on 30mg oxycodone. the vicodin is no longer killing the pain. they say I have no fractures Or breaks, but my spine is a little out of alignment....is this unreasonable to ask my physician to change the normal meds. to 30 mg oxycodone?

The solution is not change in medication . first finding the cause and then treating accordingly is the strategy in my pts. 24 is very young for severe backpain and relying on pain killers will make u addict. U may require surgery or physiotherepy depending on severity of misalingment
