I have been diagnosed with hepatitis c, contracted from a needle prick, when I worked as a nurse. I have chronic back pain from a injury. My liver enzymes are normal. I do use tropical patches for the pain right now, but in the process of moving all by myself. My doctor will give me a script for vicoden. What do you suggest? Also wanted to mention severe pain in lower back and knees. Im 44 years young. Would appreciate any advice!  Thank you, Shelley
For first need to get x-ray done app and lateral view. Then you need bed rest along with ice application avoid sitting on hard surface avoid forward bending and weight lifting.this will help you for both knee and spine pain. After you get relieved from pain need to do proper physiotherapy. Get well shorthand you.
