Back Pain Due To Epidurals
UpdatedI had my first child at 17 and my second child at 18. I am in a lot of pain due to having 3 epidurals that really messed my back up. Because of my age no doctor i have been to wants to give me anything over a 10mg Vicoden which doesn't really work due to my nerve damage and bulging discs. I refuse to self-medicate bc of my lack of knowledge when it comes to prescription pain killers. At 20 years old with a 3 and 1 year old it's hard to be the mother my children need me to be. I need a doctor that will help me and listen to me. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a pain management specialist?
That will most likely be your best bet to get the help you need and be taken seriously. They are specially trained to recognize the conditions that can cause someone pain and help them figure out their best treatment options.
And under new regulations being put into place, people are being transitioned away from having long-term chronic pain treatment be provided by general practitioners and are supposed to pursue pain management, anyway.
What is your general location?
That basic information may help enable someone to make a suggestion for a clinic in your area.
Has anyone experienced severe lower back pain/spasms after an IV treatment? This began the evening after my IV infusion and is continuing today even with home remedies (heat pad, over the counter pain med, etc).
