I have tried this medication in the form of 7 day patches. It comes in a brand called norspan and comes in 5mcg/hour, 10 and 20s. Although its supposed to be safe and non addictive, I found it had little effect on my pain whereas the oxycodone based medications seem to help take the edge off it. It ...

Another thing with Valium is that you tend to quickly develop a tolerance for it and will require higher and higher dosages to get the same effect. I find it is very effective for the painful spasms, however I only use it when I have really bad flares when the lyrica and tramadol are unable to contr...

I am going to give that Dr Peter Georgius Suite 4, Noosa Central, Pain specialist a call on Monday and see what he offers besides painkillers as suggested by Catherine thanks.

Sunil,

I think physio is very worthwhile when you have had multiple tests/specialist visits with no answers. At least its affordable and non-invasive being safe.

Otherwise what options do we have beside pain management? or a trip to Sydney

Peter has actually seen me once before, I just need to follow up with my current physio and start getting the manipulations...
