Abstract
Methods for reducing chronic pain caused by a disrupted spinal disc are described. In one method, a physiologically acceptable amount of an injectable is injected into the disc. The injectable is obtained from a stock solution comprising chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine HCl, aqueous solution of dextrose; sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and a buffer substance in quantity to bring the pH of the stock solution to a value above about 6.0. Water is also added to dilute the stock solution. The stock solution may further comprise an anesthetic such as bupivicaine.
