Suggest treatment for chronic pain with history of back surgery and spine fusion in neck
Patient: I am 56 years old. in 1979 I had back surgery..L4-5, S1. In 2008 I had shoulder surgery. In 2010 I had a spine fusion in my neck. I have been thru every avenue for pain management...P.T...holistic...etc....I deal with chronic pain and am at wits end with it. I no longer have insurance and my local clinic does not dispense pain medication. I am unable to work and am waiting for a disability claim to run thru the SSI red tape. Is there anywhere I can go to get relief? Doctor: As per your problem i realise you have multiple issues here I suggest to follow basic treatment like have anti inflammatory and pain killer drugs along with that do physio therapy exercises. You can also use hot and cold pack to reduce the inflammation with soft tissue relaxing effect. And if still have too much pain then you should take a visit of one of your doctor who has operated you and check with them what to do after doing needed test and seeing the reports One more thing have more of omega 3 in your diet it is natural anti inflammatory so will help you to recover.Take care.
