| Add Oxycontin review I have suffered from chronic pain most of my life. It began when I was twenty years old. Veterans Administration hospital surgeons performed multiple surgeries on my left leg. The final result was the removal of a four-inch section of my fibula and ever-increasing pain in my left ankle region. For nearly forty years I treated my pain with aspirin based pain relievers, due to my aversion to nar ... for chronic pain i have been taking 40 mg 3x a day for 6 years my dr finally gave me a small increase but the insurance company is holding up approval to pay for it other than that the medication works very good 14yrs of taking oxycontin 80 mg x 2 per dayplus 10 mg capsules quick release for break through pain provided me with the abilityto live a partially normal life I have been on OxyContin for 2 years, the first year they worked great getting me out of a wheelchair because of two spinal fusions, I got sciatica on top of my usual chronic back pain, the second year they became less affective, be very wary taking this medication as it is near impossible to go without them after you have been on them any more then a few months, not only are they highly addictive ... MAYBE I'VE BEEN ON IT TOO LONG, BUT IT'S NOT DOING A THING FOR MY CHRONIC FM, CRPS PAIN! | Add Oxymorphone review I had to switch from Oxycontin to oxymorphone due to insurance reasons. This drug has not worked at all for me. The oxycontin worked wonders but the oxymorphone is of no help. I also went from 20mg Oxycontin to 15mg oxymorphone. Thanks insurance company for ruining my life!! (Chartis) I have not gotten the pain relief I expected. | |||
