I have 5 ruptured dish and been spurs in my back along deterioration i hurt worser if i ever go to bed. i sleep in recliner.. recomend type of meds?

Meds don't help!: Unfortunately, there are no guaranteed treatments of any sort for what you describe. Medications are especially useless. Pain relief of a limited sort may be achieved at times, but it may not and the risks/side effects are bad. An exam may lead to surgical trial and error or Electronic Stimulation devices. Acupuncture, meditation or hypnosis may help. This is awfully hard. Be kind to yourself.
