Why not take stronger (narcotic) pain medications?

Non-Surgical Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients do not benefit from narcotic pain medication. Through anti-inflammatory medications, exercise programs, and proper rest, most patients limit their pain. For patients with chronic pain, narcotic pain medication is addictive and patients become tolerant of it, requiring greater dosages over time. In addition, narcotics can impede the body's ability to make its own internal pain medicine (endorphins). Thus narcotic medications may be hazardous and ineffective.

Most patients will require some type of pain medicine during the post-operative period. There are a wide variety of medications available to fit the needs of each individual. Narcotic medications are useful during the initial few weeks. These can be gradually weaned as recovery progresses and the pain diminishes. Patients undergoing a fusion operation should AVOID taking non-steroidal medications because they inhibit bone formation and diminish the chance of obtaining a successful fusion.
