Health~ I appreciate your comments & suggestions.
NSAIDs don’t provide her relief.
the chiropractor, who also is an MD, consulted w/ an orthopedist over her MRI.. & said he wouldn’t touch her because of the floating disc fragment… until after she has surgery for it.
surgery is being considered, but her doctor isn’t advising it @ this time.
did you see the dosage she takes? 10-15 mg approx. 4x (sometimes 3x) a day. that’s hardly methodone-type-programs necessary. (not that you suggested it was.)
SHE thinks she has a problem… I personally don’t, but absolutely respect & admire her for wanting to get help.
she hasn’t been consistently on codeine since 17, lest I be misunderstood. she goes on it when her back issues reoccur; otherwise she’s @ the gym 4-5x a wk. she’s a Dean’s List college student, a homemaker, & a budding entrepreneur w/ her husband. she’s not laying around the house all day, or out in the street looking to score.
I am not upset… just trying to explain.
