You are correct there. I have two ruptured discs in my lower back. I've taken things like ibuprofen, Bextra, and Lodine (anti-inflammatories) but none have been helpful. The doctor I mentioned is my chiropractor that I see every 2-3 weeks, and she can't prescribe medication. Used to see a pain specialist but after there was no more he could do he sent me back to my primary doc since all he was doing was writing scripts. Chiropractor didn't have any other suggestions.
