...lorcets now, but wants to quit.? My husband has been taking 3-4 lorcets a day for lower back pain for a couple years now. Last year he went to the chiropractor for a couple months, but they just wanted to see him 3 times a week and he doesn't have that much time, and it only fixed it for the day. He had said my husband needed to do exercises, but never told him what to do. He had an MRI done and could see nothing special. They recommended having an epidural injection, but is there anything non-prescription painkiller or alternative besides surgery? No one has told me how long this injection will help him for..thanks for any information.

The chiropractor did not recommend the injection. He has gone to a pain management dr. who suggested it or physical therapy, but he just got a new job and can't take that much time off work.
