The basic principle of this short informational document is that you should NOT have to live with chronic back pain. Low back pain is the most prevalent reason people visit their primary care physician. Figures vary that low back pain amounts from 20% to 40% of all primary care physician patient visits. The problem that exists today is that the majority of primary care physicians are not well informed about the medication that may be utilized to treat chronic back pain. They usually prescribe nothing more potent than Lortab and the fact exists that many chronic pain conditions require medication that is more potent that Lortab. Under careful prescribing scrutiny of a physician who limits his or her practice to pain management, chronic pain can be treated as well as any other chronic medical condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
