Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
As per your explaination i understand you are on too many medication for pain.But here you need to understand taking multiple medication only for pain is not a solution of pain. Pain is symptom and not a problem so always suggest all my patient to treat the cause of pain rather then the pain. I suggest to take treatment for your basic problems due to which you have so much of pain. Along with this I suggest to do regular basic yoga, and paranayama, keep your food habit healthy, take proper rest and do regular cardio exercise like walking or cycling up to the possible level.
For pain try to manage with cold pack and hot pack. As well do strengthening exercise for your spine.
The best way is consult a physiotherapist and talk to him about all your problems and take a good exercise program from him which can help you for improving strength and stamina of your spine. Along with this he will also guide you some more physiotherapy for pain management. And the pain killer what you are taking is enough. As well understand there is no pain killer with out any side effects available in market. So better to take some thing after consulting your regular physician.
Take care.
