Hands down back pain is the worst I have had two series of injections first set gave three two years relief. Second round was a few weeks ago so the jury is still out. But people that don't suffer back pain have no f clue .......
suffer from chronic pain from defective knee joints starting as a dull ache at about 10, daily opiates by 20.....i thought i knew what pain was....cause my knees being chit i did the stupid thing and lifted with my back alot and at 28 bulged 2 disks in my back......turns out i had no clue what real pain is.....and almost nothing, least of all opiates, work for the "phantom pain" caused by a pinched nerve where the location you feel the pain isnt the actual source of the pain....i got more relief from Advil than from morphine, what lil relief that was....
before the bulged disk i didnt understand how someone could get to taking huge doses of opiates every day cause of back pain....the day before they rolled me into surgery i would have taken a hit of heroin had someone offered i was hurting so bad....
