Hi:)

my partner has ddd and arthritis from l2 to s1. His doctors have recently told him that fusion of more than 2 discs would be impossible and ineffective. This is parkland hospital in dallas tx, no slumps there. He is only 35 years old. So far, he's on his 2nd try at finding medication that doesn't make him sick all the time. He's taking non-narcotics; one for pain, one anti-inflammatory and one that's like zantac but generic. The pain isn't minimized and he can barely if ever keep any food down even with the stomach medicine. He's constantly nauseous just in different degrees and always in pain too. He'll be starting pain management next week but that won't help the stomach issues. My question is: has anyone here who's had more experience with this found anything that helps or prevents the nausea? How someone can be helped to any degree when their medication is making them sick, doesn't sound like "healing" to me on any level. You're sick and the docs make you sicker..I don't get it.
