Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Taking Oxycodone is not a treatment of Osteoporosis. It is just for pain relief.
I would like to know what treatment you are receiving for osteoporosis.
I would advice you to get Serum Calcium (Ionized) , Vitamin D3 levels , Mineral Bone Density.
There are many treatment options these days other than calcium and vitamin D3 supplementations like :
1. Biphosphonates
2. Calicitonin Nasal Spray
3. Denusumab - If approved in your country.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
