A member asked:

Bilateral l5 pars w/ grade 1 anterolithesis of l5 on s1 w/ mild degenerative disc disease. 30mg codiene over 3 yrs now ineffective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need evaluation: This sounds like a chronic pain syndrome. It needs to be evaluated. Be certain where the pain is coming from. See what can be done to help it. On codeine long term is never a good idea. It depends on what else your physician and pain physicians can offer you.
