Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain

I had a c-section 7 years ago and I have had lower back pain ever since. About a year ago I started taking hydrocodone 10/500 and it was getting me through the day. My doctors office has stopped writing scripts for pain medication, and I am now having problems going to work, because there are some days that I can t even get out of bed. I wanted to see if there is somewhere that I can go and try to get a script for these?

Please avoid taking excessive painkillers and don't take steroids. Try conservative measures like physiotherapy. Avoid bending forward and lifting heavy weight. Try tab pregabaline 75 mg oD and analgesic sos. Get your MRI LS spine done. If conservative measures fail and neuro deficit developed then you may need surgery. Hope my advice will help you.
