Suggest Treatment For Chronic Lower Back Pain And Hip Pain
I have been seeing a pain specialist for many years. I am 63 years old, and have chronic pain in my low back, and left hip. My hip is constantly inflamed. I have had every kind of xrays, mri, etc. known to man. I also suffer from migraines. My dr has had me on oxycontin 15 mg time release tabs for over a year. Recently I changed insurance. They want me to try morphine sulfate or a fentayl patch(spelled wrong). I have paid out of pocket for another month of the oxycontin as I am traveling back and forth to Florida from TN, as my 88 year old Mother has been very ill. Please advise what medication is best with my symtoms.

For treatment chronic lower back and hip pain you can take some pain killer like biozobid-plus or osteonac-th only when the pain is worse enough or disturbing your daily work along with some calcium supplements like shalcal-d or toscal-gem once daily for joint pain. Take some multivitamin like metilda-af or neurobian-plus once daily. Do some physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. I will also advice you to sleep on a plain surface.
