As doctors turn away from opioids, an injectable drug that the manufacturer says is too dangerous to use along the spine is growing in popularity for back pain. The anti-inflammatory drug — called Depo-Medrol and made by Pfizer — is approved for injection into muscles and joints. What few doctors or patients know is that Pfizer, faced with complaints about injuries and complications related to the shots, asked the FDA to ban that type of treatment 5 years ago. Sherry Brandt suffered from back pain for years. She said no to the injections, and claims that refusal led her pain clinic to dismiss her as a noncompliant patient. Epidural steroid injections didn’t help. Physical therapy and opioid painkillers left her stable, but she still had trouble standing or walking. Sherry became more reliant on painkillers, until her doctor referred her to a local pain specialist. The clinic staff suggested more shots, but by then she’d discovered their risks and declined. Then she got hit by a truck. Sherry went to another pain clinic, where doctors also told her they would only prescribe painkillers if she agreed to an epidural steroid injection, she said. Again she declined, fearing it could worsen her condition. “It’s blackmail,” said Sherry, who was photographed here by @poynter_photo_co. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
