I have been suffering with severe lower back pain for about 12-15 years.
My numourose MRI scans have shown disc degeneration and three bulging disks.
About for years ago I had a Dynesis operation at Sptre Hospital,Elland which failed.
I take a cocktail of medication that I take now as Facet Joint Injections and Epidurals do nothing for me.
Some of my medication that I have been taking for years and I have been told I will be continue taking for life are-80MG x 2 a day OxyContin,35-40MG x 3 or 4 Morphine (Sulphate a day,10MG x 3 a day diazipam,10MG x 3 a day Baclofen,4 x a day Ketorolac,(The medication I have mentioned is only a few from a long list I take on a daily bacis)
I have two worrying questions that I realy would appreciate a answer.
1)I am 44 and I have been taking this medication for some time now.
How/if will thismedicatin effect my body in the following years to come?
2)I know for each person it is diffrent,but can you give me an educated guess on approx how long my parts in my body from the Dynesis operation will last?
Thanks
