Severe Back And Neck Problems. Taking Oxycodone. Suggestions?
I have several back and neck problems. i have been taking oxycodone for years and had one surgery so far and may be looking at another soon. the oxycodone 10 I am currently taking is not working any more, My sister takes roxicodone 15 that help her considerably but my pain doctor says they are really bad for you. Is there that much difference in the two. I know none are good but I don't have any chose anymore.

Hi and welcome to HCM There is no much difference between these tow drugs. These are of same group. For your back and neck problem you should do regular physiotherapy to strengthen the muscle and relieve in pain. I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
