I have 2 bulging discs in my back (L4 & L5) that give me pain in my lower left back on a constant basis especially when I stand for more than 5 minutes. I have tried many creams, patches and meds. I am presently taking Kadian which gives me very little relief. Will Salonpas help me with this condition and would I be better off using the cream or the patches? I have seen 2 surgeons that have both said that the risks outweigh the benefits so they refuse to do surgery on me. What do you recommend?
Back pain on a constant basis?

Have you ever tried the inverter machine? It holds you upside down to stretch out the spine. I have DDD and arthritis in my back. I haven't tried the machine but am intrigued by it since I know someone who has had success with it.
I also use Flector Patches when I am really bad off... mostly at night. Yeah I can't be on my feet for long either. My foot tends to lose feeling at a very short time.
Good luck!
