[|Human|] i have been on oxycotine30 mgs and hydrocodone 10/325 for about 6 yrs due to a forklift ran over me and the damage it did was the L4 L5 S1 & disk bulge. Had surgery in 2007. the meds do not very well anymore. Is there another combination that i could ask the doctor for. I went back to work in 2010 and slipped on a hanger thrown on floor and injured L2  L3 disk bulge with pinched nerve on L3. The combination i have now is not really helping.
[|AI|]  Hi therefore user If I was your doctor I would recommend a fresh MRI lumbosacral spine. Most of the time the answer to such long-standing problem is a decompression laminectomy. It has outstanding results and a permanent solution to your problem. Medicines, esp painkillers are good for short term pain but not very helpful in long term or chronic pain. If you still want to go for medicine then I think the best combination for you would be an NSAID and a Muscle relaxant. Many a time the back pain is due to hyper flexion of the vertebral column. In such a case this combination is very successful.
