Is Oxycontin an Effective Pain Reliever?
Question by Brian Afrisio: Is oxycontin an effective pain reliever?
I am currently taking 50mg of Tramadol 3X a day, 500 mg Naproxen twice a day, and 10/325 Norco 3X a day for arthritis of the knees. The Tramadol has never been of much help. I just take it in between my Norco. Lately the Norco hasn’t been working as good. I don’t get as much relief and it doesn’t last as long. I get about an hour or two of good relief and they start hurting again. I have even been doubling up on them and still not much relief. I hate taking all these pills and my doctor was suggesting Oxycontin SR, I think. It’s supposed to last all day. Is it really helpful. I’m not looking to get high. I just hate being in pain all the time. I’m skeptical about surgery. I have seen 3 different orthos and they all recommended three different surgeries. One said a high tibial osteotomy, the other said arthroscopic surgery, and the other said my knees are trashed and I need knee replacements. I have also been told by other people that surgery hasn’t helped them much. I am overweight, but I have lost a lot of weight to. I blew up to near 400 pounds about 5 years ago. I gained the weight from being so exhausted from work. And I was tired all the time. I switched jobs and I am down to around 280-290 now. I’m hoping if I get down to my ideal weight that the pain will lessen to where I don’t have to take pills or surgery, but right now I think the pills is my best option. I was a little concerned about switching to Oxycontin because of how addictive it can be and I now the copay is kinda high. For the other 3 I am only paying about $ 15 a month. I think the Oxycontin might be $ 50, but it could be as little as $ 20. I need to check with my insurance company on that one. Would it be worth paying more to get the relief I need or am I better off just sticking with what I am currently taking? I’m just worried since I have been doubling up on them that it might eventually get worse and I don’t want that to happen. I hate pills. I hated seeing my Mom on all her meds before she died. She was on at least 25 different meds at once for depression, high blood pressure, arthritis, and asthma.
Yes he is suggesting taking me off the 3 meds I am on and just putting me on the Oxycontin SR. There is no way that I would want to add it to the others I am on. I don’t want to be all doped up especially when I’m working.
