SEVERE PAIN!! MY QUESTION WAS WHY IF YOU CHEW UP A 30MG. OXYCONTIN does IT HELP THE PAIN MORE THAN A 30MG. OXYCODONE IR?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain killers that you have mentioned will only help you symptomatically. For such nerve related pains Gabapentin or pregabalin are helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
