Let me get this straight...You have surgery for a ruptured disc, which should cure your problem, but you need to take 3 to4 Percocets per day for the rest of your life to function.
I guess, I’m a different as I think the purpose for a doctor is to return a person back to a productive state in society.
Tylenol actually is quite effective esp for degenerative disc problems. I’m not saying that, but it’s been in studies. If you’re interested I’ll get the research for you.
No it isn't. Most that are on something like Norco for disc pain started off on Tylenol. That didn't work so they moved on.
Also, as you should know, surgery may work for a time but the chances of adhesions growing on the surgical area, creating the same pain, is common.
No surgeon I've found will touch over 3.
I was in a wheelchair and on crutches taking 2,000 mg of motrin or a bottle of asprin a day before I found a good doctor.
Without opoids I would be on disability or dead.
Don't know what your studies say but tylenol does nothing for me and is toxic to the liver.
BTW I work full time as an EMT.
