Can i receive proper medication for my back injury in ohio i have l5 s1 disc herniation and radiculopathy and cronic pain in back and both legs

There : There are many treatments for l5-s1 disk disease including physical therapy, medications, steroid injections and surgery. You should see a spine pain doctor and spine surgeon to determine the best treatment for your disk problem. Good luck!

Check st. med. Board: Call the oh state medical board to locate pain management specialists in your area. Or, if you have a primary care physician, ask them for a referral.

Complicated: Relying solely on medications is not an optimal solution. Pain meds won't fix your problem and thus taking them will lead to tolerance and risk dose escalation. There is a role for pain meds if used sparingly and only in times of severe breakthrough pain. At 41, they shouldn't be used around the clock. Also consider medications for nerve pain but again they won't fix the problem.
