I’ve had 5  back/neck surgeries over the last 10 years additionally I have moderate/severe spinal stenosis along with arthritis throughout my spine. I know I am physically dependent on narcotics being on them for such a long period of time.  I have stopped taking medication several times with very bad reactions inclusive of vomiting, insomnia,shaking ,double vision as well as the severe back pain returning .I truly want to stop taking the various medications however I don't want to suffer with the withdrawals, the other concern is my chronic pain how will that be managed since I was told after my last procedure a little over a year ago there is nothing else that can be done.
Thank you
Joe
