I am having severe back pain. My doctor had me on m-eslon for 2 years and now wants to stop, considering he knows of my back pain and me waiting for surgery. What are the reasons he may want to do this? He said he will not be putting me on anything until after surgery considering I am already in pain and using a caine?
