Does Anyone Have Either Or Both Of These Diagnosis And If So Do You Ever Get More Than 40-50% Pain Relief And If So What Do You Take?!?

Has Anyone Else Decided To Go With Pain Managment Instead Of Pain Killers?
At one point I was on 12 T3’s a day for the lower back pain from the collapsing discs; especially S1-L5. The next step was to go on Opiods (hope I spelled it right) anyway. I decided to go for a breast reduction and pain management instead. Anyone else?
