Difference of opinio: Perhaps the doctor had a difference of opinion and is playing with medications . You might seek another opinion as a different pain doctor . Prolotherapy may be the better alternative for a more long lasting or permanent relief of pain. Visit www.Proloshot.Com to learn about prolotherapy.
