Sir - I was diagnosed with polycythemia some ten + years ago. Warfarin for 2.5 years and dropped instantly when under a different PCP. All during that time, I have had pain, dizziness, and a constant skin rash. 8 months ago, I endured an AAA with emergency surgery upon it s rupture. The pain I experienced prior to surgery has increased at least double fold now. I need some sort of pain relieve as that it has me immobilized for weeks at a time. During my recovery, I was prescribed oxycodone which left me feeling the best I have in at least 15 years. I m really not a pill taker but, I was able to do things I couldn t for a long time. Without it, the constant pain and agony is near unbearable most of the time. If there is something better to live what life I have left, please inform me of this this. Otherwise, I am forced to do what I must to alleviate this 24/7 life of misery. The VA seems to be oblivious to this so, I can t deem it as a resource for any improvement in that area. Anything to remove the pain is under my consideration. Highest regards, Dave Sorrell
