What Treatment Should Be Taken For Severe Back Pain ?
Hello my name is Madison I m 16 (female) and I ve gotten many x rays and an MRI . I ve suffered from extreme back pain for 2 years straight now. Pain every single day. So the doctors say I have lumbago . Well I ve taken Tylenol , Tylenol with codeine, ibuprofen, bayer, naproxen...pretty much everything. NOTHING helps at all not even muscle relaxers. Should I go to pain killers? I don t know what to do the pain is so extreme! I ve taken lortab before and that helped. What should I do?
