Penney: Better pain management solution needed

I would be interested in hearing from others who have had similar experiences on this subject:

MRI results confirm the diagnosis. Prime doctor’s office does not prescribe pain medication. 

Referred to pain management clinic. They offer cervical injection 2x6 months and hydrocodone 5mg. Take 1 twice a day.

Penney: Better pain management solution needed

Posted

I would be interested in hearing from others who have had similar experiences on this subject:

MRI results confirm the diagnosis. Prime doctor’s office does not prescribe pain medication. 

Referred to pain management clinic. They offer cervical injection 2x6 months and hydrocodone 5mg. Take 1 twice a day.

Pain relief lasts one month from injection. Pills do not help at all. No other options are offered.

Our healthcare system surely can offer a better solution. How do I find it?
