Hello I used to be in the Army but had to retire due to debilitating pain suffered from a back injury. I went from civilian doctors to the ones at the VA hospital. Am I EVER glad I did that, because now I am getting the relief I need. I take 4 15 mg oxycodone 4 times a day, and I cannot believe how much more I can do with my life. I just wanted to say on here that there is a BIG difference bet...

This was the worst idea for a painkiller. Do not take this.

I first had roxicodone and oxycodone years ago + then in the hospital recently but hate it. It didn’t help very well with my severe pain but worse makes me feel very anxious and generally unwell particularly when it wears off but also when it’s active. I don’t do well with short acting pain meds + it took several years + lots of different meds to get to a functional point. My doctor discovered years ago that that my pain was treated much better with the combo of 2 long acting 20 mg Oxycontin and 30 mg of Morphine Sulphate ER 2x day every day. I have a third dose (MS ER/CR) to take for breakthrough and worse periods of pain. I have not had to increase doses in 20 years even though my condition has worsened + added issues have developed. At times, pain is much worse but I don’t take the additional MS ER unless I just can’t move, function or take care of myself. Combo takes care of 60-70% of pain (+/- depending on many things) — never ever pain free. Dealing with pain since a child though not really diagnosed until early 20s; was able to deal with aspirin, ice, heat, rest, exercise, massage, various therapy, joint/spinal injections, etc until early 40s and by that time I was having to be bedridden multiple days a week. With the combo mentioned I was able to get along until 50s and even now at 65. However there are now things that I just can’t do. When pain +fatigue is worse than usual, I just go to bed for a day or so and then I feel better. But again, I don’t want to increase dose because I feel like I can get through even though it’s really tough. Pool therapy with water at 90-93F was/is a huge help but we no longer have that option nearby. Hot tub at same temp can help but isn’t the same as being able to exercise, hang, stretch in the 3-5’ deep 90-93F water 3-5 days a week. Water below 90 makes me much worse causing cramps, spasms, increased pain etc. There need to be many more therapeutic pools across the country/hospitals for severe chronic pain patients.

I have had well over 40 reconstructive surgeries putting me back together after being in a horrible logging accident. Shattered the bones in my face and jaw bones and i have metal/alloy jawbones and prosthetic joints. Was in a halo collar for neck/back injuries. Had lots of broken bones. I have massive chronic pain and have been put on every pain med you can think of & most you cant! Even volunteered for studies on new meds to find relief! The pain in my neck, back, skull & jaw area is constant torture with dull aching pain, shooting pains, lightning bolts that drop me to the ground! My jaws lock shut from scar tissue & i tear it open! I take Oxycontin & Oxycodone daily & it truly is a life saver! Now its not all roses and pony rides by far. Even with meds i still have pain. It helps me to live a decent quality of life that i would not have without it though! Downsides are some constipation at times, especially if i dont watch my diet & i make sure i drink lots of water/juice. I also take extra vitamins as this medication depletes our bodies of magnesium and folic acid. Insomnia at times. Way more Pros vs Cons though! The worst part of taking these medications that have given me my quality of life back is this ridiculous slander campaign by the govn and media. If people abuse meds or drugs a& they overdose, thats on them & no one else! Adults make their own decisions! If people misuse meds to get high then its THEIR OWN FAULT! If kids get ahold of meds, pumish the sellers or the negligent parents! Not me! Our government & the media machine should be ASHAMED of themselves for making this a witch hunt that has made it harder for REAL PATIENTS WITH REAL SEVERE CHRONIC INJURIES/PAIN to get medications! I dont care what people think as they are not living my life & have no idea of what I go thru 24 hrs a day, but when other peoples OPINIONS create havic for me and my health then they need to mind their own & stay out of my life! SHAMEFUL whats going on!Read More Read Less

A few years after vertarae C6 and C7 fusion along with plate and screws I started having chronic pain in my neck once more. The doc prescribed to me 100 doses of 30mg roxicodone. The medicine worked great. Upon completion of the script I quit cold turkey. My withdrawal was somewhat sever. I experienced cold sweats, anxiety, felt sick and pain. Canâ??t imagine the withdrawal from years of use. In the end I received a cortisone injection which has worked for 15yrs but now the pain has been flaring up once more. Read More Read Less

Having been crushed between two taxicabs in NYC, enduring 38 surgeries (so far), giving up the chance to lead the life I dreamt, taking a multitude of meds (from psych to pain to stomach), I know of NO BENEFIT TO LIVING WITH/IN DIRE PAIN. I take 240 mg of OxyContin and 60 mg of Roxicodone for breakthrough pain. That latter is down from 90 of generic oxycodone which can be useless, as my pharmacy was getting in whatever was cheapest that week. My doctor switched me from generic to brand and the difference was significant. Unfortunately, I;m still in pain. But, hey, that's what "they" want...as long as I'm having debilitating pain, then all is right in opioid land, because, God forbid, I should get 100% relief.... I become infuriated when I see how Big BRother dictates what I should be taking. There is alot less abuse of these drugs because people cannot get the right amount from doctors who are weak and cowed into lowering the amount of scripts they write. TREAT EACH PATIENT WITH THE DIGNITY AND RESPECT WE DESERVE: we've been through hell, we are living in hell. My life is merely an 'existence' though I have tried through Herculean efforts to overcome the monster that is workers comp and TPA's and I have prevailed. But I am exhausted, depressed... I will, however, live to fight another day.Read More Read Less

Taken alone, the roxicodone will not provide long lasting relief.That's when the trouble starts, because I started taking them more often. But when my Pain Management Doctor put me on Fentanyl patches, the roxicodone provided good breakthrough relief. Responsibility with this and all opioids is critical! Needing early refills, and taking for the "high" are definite RED FLAGS.

I have been taking Norco 10/325 for 14 years. I had surgery on July 10th and my orthopedic surgeon gave me a script for Percocet. I called my pain mgmt. doc and told him and was told I couldn't fill it (I had an opiate contract with him). I thought I was doing the right thing. When I asked if the pain mgmt. quack if he was going to see me in the hosp, I was told to wait until my regular appt. HE WAS FIRED! I finally got a pain doc. and told him about my hep c. He put me on Oxycodone 10mg ^ per day and it has done WONDERS when combined with Flexeril. I am actually able to get around the house and do minor chores! The only adverse side effect is that sometimes I wake up woozy. Read More Read Less

I broke my heel in 5 places 8 years ago followed by 6 surgeries, including a triple fusion. I was told in the ER that I suffered a "life changing incident" and they were right. I never imagined so many years of pain. I've taken Vicodin, Percocet, and now Roxy. Guess what? I'm also now a drug addict. Most of us 'reviewers' are. We use pain meds for two reasons: to help our pain AND satisfy our addictions. Oxycodone is actually just synthetic heroin. No wonder it works so well. I'm honest with myself after I've had my fix.

I was slowly weaned off with good results. Recently the pain started coming back and I take 10mg Roxicodone without Tylenol with 10mg of Flexeril 3x daily and the results are great !!

I have not asked the pain management center in 7 years to up my pain meds. I get the 8 facet and a Sciatica shots every 3 months and get 120 Percocet 10-325 a month. I run out these days by 15 days. I do not know how to approach them and say hey, 7 years later, my brain is immune, I have to take 2 4 times a day, twice as much as prescribed. A person gave me a 30mg and I thought it did not work as I did not feel it like the 10s in 45 minutes. So I took a second. Wow.... along with the perc;s I cannot remember being able to do this much. I am out working in the dog kennels and while I still have pain, it fits great in between the percs. Unfortunately, I am not getting them prescribed and will go talk to the pain doc about them. They made easily 50% more pain relief.Read More Read Less

I have been on pain meds since age 25 and am now 57. I have chronic hereditary pancreatitis ,degenerative disc disease, spondilosis,spinal stenosis,and osteoarthritis in every joint. I have had both knees, both hips and the right shoulder replaced,the doc is talking bout the left shoulder being replaced now. There is no cure for the pancreatic problem.I have been on everything from demerol,fentanyl patches,and anything else you can think of and nothing has worked. The pain spec. I had seen for 14 years decided he was going to be unavailable for two weeks this past Dec. and the orthopedist I see gave me enough of the same meds the pain spec. did and then I called the office to let them know as I normally did. They then informed me that he was not out of town, he just wanted extra money working in OR next door at the hops instead of seeing patients. The nurse called him and he told me to find another dr. I did and then explained the meds I was on and told him they were not effective, he then put me on roxicodone and flexural. The difference was seen right away and six months later I am still satisfied. I admit now and again when I really feel good I may overdue it,I will simply slow up and rest . My spasm med may need to be changed but overall the main pain med is fine. I recommend it to anyone, but please read all the warnings, and side effects labels. I was a paramedic for 10 yrs when I was in my late 20's early 30's so I have some medical knowledge and have seen the different pain meds in action and have had some of the same used on me,but the only thing I find is the roxicodone that seems to do the trick. I take one 15mg tab every 6 hrs and one flexural 10 mg tab 3 time day and right now they seem to work fine. Read More Read Less

At first it was great for my back and hip pain. BUT if you don't want to be addicted to this potent narcotic DO NOT START. I would NOT recommend for anyone other than a last resort. Oxycodone will help with pain but, This drug will hook you quick. BE CAREFUL. A good Doctor will watch you closely a Dr. that just keeps increasing your dose and taking your money, well you figure it out.

During the past 12 years I have been prescribed a number of medications for my back pain. I have endured 4 back surgeries, they were talking about number 5 but I said no, no more. But roxycodone gave me more relief than any of the meds prescribed to me. It is fast acting and fairly long lasting. This medicine came closer than anything to giving me my," 30 year old back" to me.my hat's off to the manufactuor. As for addiction and abuse, please deal with the addicts in a far different class than those of us who actually benefits from this medicine. Thank you for allowing me to speak my mind.Read More Read Less
