Have spinal stenosis & degenerative disc disease. prescribed norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 10 but the pain is either getting worse or i'm developing tolerance. suggestions?

Epidural: You need to see pain management (an Anesthesiologist). They can perform an epidural steroid shot to the region of stenosis. When stenosis gets worse, surgical intervention has to occur.

Options: 1) Exercise for core strength and flexibility 2) Pain medication changes - stronger opioids - consideration for gabapentin 3) Epidural steroid injections, ~3-4 per 12 mo period https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqL9gzVkAJQ

Start PT: Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) does not eliminate the cause of the pain, merely covers it up. Be pro-active, have some physical therapy, do exercise and stretching. Do NOT become sedentary, instead, use your muscles and joints. Gradually, you will overcome the barriers and feel far less pain.
