Chronic Pain?

Question by flagguttie: Chronic Pain?
I have Chronic Pain going on 11 years. I have been on many pain medications over the years, had several pain doctors perform several injections in several places to try and freeze or kill the nerves. I have recently had a neuro stimulator installed and it seems to have some relief and I am still on medication. I would like to get off the medication and I know the withdrawls will be hell. What’s the best way to handle these symptons and avoid having major issues while coming off?
I am on MS-Contin 15mg – 2 per day, and Loratab 10/500 – 4 per day

theres many natural pain medications, i suggest slowly going off, just decrease your meds every couple days, soon when you get to 1 pill start cutting it in half and ect ect.

Is it just me, or does this question sound like something you should ask your doctor? If you are on large doses of Oxycontin, you are in for some serious problems.
