John, my doc said it was best for me to keep the pain med in my system------so I take oxy every day--Do you too?? If I don't take any my spasms and pain gets bad. Thanks, Dan H.

I haven't been on this list that long, I was on it a long time ago but I haven't been up to date until about a month ago. So I have missed any discussions about dealing with chronic pain. I have been disabled for 31 yrs. I have only been in pain for about a year. It is in my neck, upper back and shooting into my left arm. I have tried chiropractic adjustments but he doesn't want to make me worse so he actually told me that I should stop. I had a cortisone shot in my neck but it did not help. So I have tried naproxin, tramadol and vicodin. The vicodin is the only medication that helps. I don't want to take it for the rest of my life because I know it isn't safe. My question is what do all of you do for pain? Thanks. Meredith
