Back pain relief

[anon]

Hopefully my upcoming stem cell treatment for my bad spinal discs will get me off of oxy.

I want to get a 3rd class medical.

In case it is not 100% effective, what is the strongest pain medicine allowed?

Are there any issues with chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, or portable spinal stimulation?

Thank you.

Don't waste your time with chiropractic quackery.

By portable stimulator I meant non-implanted type.
Understand some don't believe in chiro/acupuncture/massage, but does the FAA have any issues with those treatments?
What about the marijuana with no thc? My neurologist has see promising results. thanx

My wife and I have both had issues with back pain and have tried those portable electric simulators. Physical therapist also used one. They felt weird, kind of like having tiny rats nawing on your back. While they >might< have given some brief relief, they did nothing to help with the problem. For us, they were a total waste of money.
