Question by Rob M: what is the best pain med for back pain?
I have had a back problem for 4 years and even had a fusion 3 years ago and have been on hydrocodone ever since. No matter how much I take, it just doesnt work. What is the best med to take for pain relief other than oxycontin? I am not interested in getting high, I just want a break from the constant pain. Is methadone effective? I have heard it doesnt get you high. Any suggestions?

Pain management is tricky. There is no one solution that works for everyone. It depends on the kind of pain (is it bone, is it muscles, is it nerves.) For bone the best thing is Ibprofien or its many relatives like celabrex, sulindac, napracin, etc… unfortunately long term use of these do things like kill your kidneys. For muscle pain there are muscle relaxants.    Read more...
