<br /> Sophia many heavy duty pain meds like morphine have neurological side effects and make you fuzzy brained. Also pain meds alone are not enough if the damage is bad enough.

I'm certainly not advocating morphine and I am well aware of neurological side effects of certain narcotics. But, pain pills are prescribed for a reason for some people and those who go to Pain Management Clinics are going for a reason. I would guess they are in chronic pain. As you can see, most of these posters are getting shots and I'm not seeing anyone saying "it's a miracle".... - If they can get some relief with a pain pill, then I am all for it. Nobody should have to suffer with chronic pain if they can help it. JMO - I also know these doctors are in the business of alleviating pain, either with shots and/or pills. That's why they are called "Pain Management".....

My point was simply that many people are on pain meds plus some sort of treatment. My DH does happen to be on morphine for his back and is also getting a laser therapy. He needs both.

I think we're on the same page here. I empathize with your husband and hope he is getting some relief for his back.

My other point here is that on this whole thread, with all these people going to Pain Clinics, not one of them is on pain pills??? Doesn't this strike you as "odd"????? ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$ Nobody seems to be feeling better and the injections sound more like horror stories. ${#emotions_dlg.huh}$

sophiamarie....I'm sure there are many reasons why some people choose to NOT use pain meds. It doesn't make it right or wrong.

It's a personal preference.....and everyone's reason is unique to their own lives.

No one is questioning why you choose to use pain meds rather than a shot.

Easy peasy.

It's not so strange now. Addicts and drug seekers have made it very hard for people that really have pain to get pain pills (narcotics). The Docs just don't want to give them or keep anyone on them for any length of time.

Why would anyone question me????? I don't use pain meds. I don't get epidural shots. I don't go to a pain clinic.

Why would anyone question me????? I don't use paid meds. I don't get epidural shots. I don't go to a pain clinic.

I'm sorry.....I guess I mis-interpreted your last post.
