Q: Degenerative Disk Disorder
asked by: uhlizza on July 24th, 2009

I was looking through the catagory's and I didn't find anything specific on Degenerative Disk Disorder, in which I suffer from in my neck, creeping down towards my back. I go to pain management clinic for this, but was curious what others are doing and how they compare to mine. For example I am in a lot of pain by the end of the day, and my meds do not even work by then, unless I lay down, then I can't sleep at night! I am perscribed to soma's and percocets that do not work by the evening. So I just live in pain mostly. I do not want, nor do my doctors, to keep increasing the strength of of the narcotics. I also am perscribed to ibuprophen that does help towards the evening. At any rates, where could I find more information on this topic, which is specific to my neck?
Thanks

There is a stimulator that you can get. It does something like trick your brain into thinking its not in pain. It works for some people. I think you have to be in a pain program to get it. Boston Scientific makes one
