Should i continue to take vicodan for my back pain.it works perfectly for me but am havin trouble getting perscriptions.what else could i try?

Specialist: Vicodan (and other narcotics) is not the answer for chronic back pain issues. Unless you have a narcotic contract with a pain management physician, you will have difficulty in obtaining medications due to the addictive qualities. You should seek out a specialist who may be able to break the pain cycle.....Maybe you need to be seen by a surgeon?

Find the cause: Vicodan or other narcotics are really only indicated for short term treatment, not long term "relief". Find the root cause and treat it (break the cycle). Start with imaging, then less invasive treatment such as injections, and finally consider surgery if indicated. Above all go to a reputable doctor who has an interes tin diagnosing your condition rather than just treating or masking the pain.
