Ever been to a pain management clinic?

I have had 2 back surgeries within the last year.I have been on lorcet pretty much ever since.My Dr. has referred me to a pain management clinic.My apt. is Thursday.I am just wondering what to expect.

I have been to one for aftercare pain management regarding my knee surgery. It is a normal place, a normal doc's office, but they just specialize in pain management.

What you have been prescribe is very similar to Vicodin. If you are still in quite a bit of pain and if you have been taking the prescribed med for a while, it could be that you are building a tolerance to the medication and need to be put on something more "potent".

The next step up from Vicodin (hydrocodone) is Percocet (oxycodone). I really wouldn't suggest being on any pain medications for a long time as your body does become dependent on these and stop producing it's natural pain killer. Once you get off of pain killers after being on them for quite some time, you go through withdrawals and they can be pretty heinous. I actually had to take a week off of work because of how bad my withdrawal were and I really am weary about suggesting pain meds, but do understand that people are in pain and need to be treated humanely.

Good luck with this and feel free to email me if you have any other questions about pain medications. :)

I have never been to a pain managment clinic but I have had sciatica, bulging and then a herniated disc and I have found that Inversion therapy is the best treatment for back pain and sciatica that I know of. In 04 I had to get back surgery for a herniated disc. Nearly 2 years after surgery I STILL had painful and crippling sciatica, weak legs and pain. A friend of mine turned me on to inversion therapy and I have been hanging upside down ever since. what I've learned through treating with inversion therapy is that although we feel pain in our backs, the pain really originates in the core, stomach or ab muscles. As I inverted I felt my abs start to loosen as the spasms were stretched away. As my abs relaxed they loosened their grip on my hip muscles, thighs and of course my back muscles. Once these muscles were also relaxed my lower back and pelvis were free to go back into alignment and as they did my sciatica disappeared. I have been virtually pain free for 3 years now because of inversion therapy and I want the world to know! Inversion therapy has literally saved my life. Do some research yourself and see if you think inversion therapy can help you as it did me. This maybe your chance to get off of the pain pills and find some natural treatment option. You need to get up and get mobile. Your muscles are so tight and in spasm. You need to loosen them and stretch them and inversion therapy will help you do this. You should try an inversion table asap. All my best and Happy New Year.

Scary..I've yet to see a successful back surgery. If you need help with pain try Seven+ it seem to help with alot of chronic pain symptoms.
