I have chronic nerve pain in my upper back..c-6 and c-7 discs. The bulging discs are putting pressure on the nerve and sending shooting pain up my arm, and my upper back.
The pain meds only take the edge off, they DO NOT take away the pain completely, an never will, only surgery may help, and that is not a guarantee...
Sorry to hear about your pain issues @avoice ...i wish u luck and finding a regime that works for you
