Chronic Back Pain

It's difficult to find a good pain clinic for sure. If you don't mind driving, Hot Springs has a good one.

There's a good psychiatrist at the VA NW AR now; he moved to Rogers.

Miss Him...my doc now wants to change my meds around. Xanax works, but i guess Klonopin is what I'll be getting in three months.

I live in a tiny town north of Fort Smith, AR> A very bad placce to develop back pain.....or any other type of pain for that matter B)

This chronic back pain is really wearing me out. All modes of therapy have really failed so far. I am just holding the line with dope, but it is failing. What are some alternative treatments for chronic pain? I am going from doctor to doctor seeking a cure. I feel like some of these quacks are taking advantage of me with nerve blocks and all this other crap. I take oxycodone and vicodin and I just get some relief. The VA has failed me and so have the private pain doctors.

John,

I have tried chinese accupressure massage with some relief. Is there any chiropractors in your area that specialized in manipulation of the nerves in you back? I found one from India, and he has helped some. It's not covered by insurance but has been worth it so far.
