If this doesn’t bring out the concern trolls I don’t know what will.

Freeper drug Nazis will insist those with severe chronic pain just suffer through it for however long they waste oxygen.

Liberty loving small government liars they are

Its like gun control.... this only affects legitimate pain prescription users....not dopers

But I regress.....observations

The dummies here don’t know much on the facts except their zealotry

Oxycodone in extended release is Oxycontin......

Oxycodone in regular form is Percocet and generics....5..7.5 and 10 mg

I think they make larger doses now and without Tylenol mixed in....it used to have aspirin ....Percodan...which was better

You cannot chew up or snort Oxycontin anymore to get bigger effect....its gummed up

Hydrocodone is 95-98% as effective as oxycodone.....and comes in similar strengths

And in syrups for cancer folks.....

These are mid level pain meds.....better than codeine as a rule or ultram or darvocet ....(no longer made....more govt meddling)

The heavy hitting pain relief is morphine....dilaudid....fentanyl....ophana...dolophine .....and barely....demerol

Those are for bigtime pain.....although high dosage extended release oxycodone is close behind

I have never understood why street dopes didn’t just buy much cheaper and more effectively heroin which today given the quality can be snorted....smoked or simply eaten

I’ve fractured my neck.....multiple shoulder injuries and dislocations.....herniated cervical and lumbar

Multiple concussions..... leading to empty sella syndrome

Blown out knees.....

Born with bad heart and two open heart surgeries in 11 months back in 2005...yep got my own threads of course

And subsequent medtronics on demand pacemaker for trifascicular block

I don’t want anymore surgeries even though my orthopod thinks I’m due a half dozen

So I take prednisone....zanaflex.....soma if I’m not going out.....and hydrocodone or oxycodone in regular dosage as needed

I don’t like oxycontin....its too much though I did find old school codeine syrup very effective they rarely give that out now....

Some days I thank God for it...I’m pushing 60 and have 9 full and partial dependents and work every day.....and drive a whole lot

I push myself....I’m lucid and feel more energetic and less stove up

I do not drink nor smoke pot though I know folks swea some strains help with pain

If you wish pain relief you have to go to a legit doc who does trigger point anesthesia and Myelograms and cortisine injections and if on steady meds then a fresh script per visit

They urine test for illegal dope and may ask to see pills to count in order to make sure you’re taking them

Since I know my doc and pharmacist socially I just live by their rules quite easily and if you do that it doesn’t give much cause to the drug warriors

Sorry for the rant kids but enjoy being young.and healthy....and don’t listen to the ignorant here preach.....from their seat at the bar usually

I’m right there with you.

Busted up shoulders, knees, ankles, ribs and a few concussions.

All from me singing “I’ve got to be free! I’ve got to be me. What else can I be...”

Plus I grind my teeth so bad that even with a dental night guard I wake up everyday with what feels like a migraine.

I’m not trying to make it through the day. I’m just getting a head start on what is persistent and the difference is some 4 hours, compared to 15-30 minutes and I’m usually good to go for the rest of the day.

‘I’ve fractured my neck.....multiple shoulder injuries and dislocations.....herniated cervical and lumbar

Good grief! How did you manage to do all that?

I herniated a cervical disc some years ago and the pain was unremitting and nothing they gave me would touch it. It finally went away with therapy alone, thanks be to God, but it took a very long time.

I suspect that it had something to do with the neck and shoulder problems I was having last winter that prompted me to retire from my glorious Postal career- figured I’d better leave it behind before I suffered permanent nerve damage- the fleeting variety was spooky enough.

But I can hardly imagine dealing with the litany of ailments that you listed in your post. I do recall your heart trouble but I wasn’t aware of all the rest.
