Is Oxycontin The Right Medicine For Chronic Pain?
Yes, please let me know if I should attempt to change pain med. I have been on Oxycontin 10 mg every 10-12 hrs for over 10 years. I have not increased the dosage because I was concerned with developing a problem, habit. That amount takes care of the pain and discomfort. If I don t maintain this level I have extreme discomfort and pain. I suffer no side effects, like I have on other pain meds.

HI
Well come to HCM
Here the underlying cause of pain and what kind of pain is there is matter and this is not given here, in my opinion instead of increasing the dose better to keep the habit of bearing the pain as hard as you can, once you achieved this then you would get the best natural analgesic effect, there would be no limit for dose of analgesic once you increased the dose, take care and have a nice day
