MIKES BACK!!!!!

 

Hey sorry to hear. I didn't know you had any problems. My dad has BAD back problems from the military and the post office (go figure). I know how bad it is for him.



Whenever he throws out his back the doctor gives him Xylocaine and Cortisone injections in his back and it helps him a lot.



If it's really bad, the doctor will give him a Stadol injection. It's practically liquid cocaine... It'll mess you up pretty bad for a couple hours, but you won't feel the pain for a few days.



And for prescription medications, he takes Soma (muscle relaxer) and Vicodin (pain kiler). They make him tired but he says they do the job.



All of these drugs are very potent, and I'm not sure if they apply to your problem... But it's worth asking the doctor about them so you can get some comfort.



My mom is in the medical field and she said that the problem usually requires surgery, although I'm sure you know that already.



Best of luck.



- Anthony
