This week's case is about a patient, Rick, a 36-year-old male with chronic back and neck pain. He works as a computer programmer, logging long hours in his office chair, which doubles as his gaming chair. He says that if he twists his neck or back the wrong direction, he experiences severe pains across his entire low back and up into his neck. He manages his pain with hydrocodone/apap, 4 tablets a day, along with daily cannabis use, which he says is helpful for pain, anxiety, and sleep. Lately his pain has been worse and he’s increased his dose to 6 tablets/day, so has now run out early and is requesting a refill.
