The same is true for these soft tissue injuries in your neck and
back. Yes, you read that correctly! Your doctor who means well and wants
you pain-free, may be hurting you by giving you seemingly harmless drugs!
That's not to mention the side effects of using these drugs. You see,
the bodily functions these drugs are blocking to hide your pain also
have other functions in the body. Depending on the drug, you may run
into serious kidney, stomach, or liver problems as a result of popping
these drugs just to get through a day of work.
The next step doctors will rely on once their initial treatments fail
is to refer you to a physical therapist and they will determine a treatment
for you, usually going a couple times a week for several months.
If therapy fails or he feels it won't help than the doctor may recommend
you see a surgeon about your problem.
You should consider ALL of your health care options.
Physical therapy can help some of the time, but certainly not all of
the time.
