I had cervical fusion spine surgery with laminectomy 5 years ago and still suffer from chronic pain. By the way my surgeon went through the back of my neck instead of the front. This has greatly impacted my life in many ways but I have found that the most pain relief I get is from the Percocet. The only real downside is that you do get sleepy so I try to take it only in the evening but if I need to I will take one during the day. Most people don't understand about chronic pain and as a result of their ignorance tend to be judgmental. My thoughts and prayers are with all who will read this as well as all who suffer with this problem everyday.

This medication has worked very well for helping to control my break through pain of RSD/CRPS which is the most painful chronic pain disease there is. I have been on 10/650 for a long time but now my doctor is concerned that I am getting too much Tylenol in my dosage - I am going to try to get her to move me to 10/325. The max dosage of Tylenol should be 2650 mg a day, NOT 4000 as it has been updated. I am not worried about becoming addicted as I take my dosages as directed. There is a huge difference between addiction and dependence of your pain medications. I also take Opana ER 40mg 2 X day. These two medicines work well for me.
I have been taking Percocet 10/650 off and on for about 5 months for back pain and for joint pain, tendinitis, etc. It works great for me despite my tendency toward resistance to pain medicines. I take one when I really need it and sleep great or do whatever I need to do. The only real down side I can list is when taking it before bed I am inclined to oversleep and feel groggy the next day.
I have been taking 10/650 for 5weeks. I think they are good for the pain but they are too strong on my stomach. That's why I rate them an 8. I like the 10/325 better. With the 10/650 I have to eat a very large meal, if not I get very ill. I'm going to2 ask my doctor for the percocet 15, they are smaller and have less acetaminophen which is better for my body.
I have tried many different pain medicines and this one seems to be the best at temporarily taking away my pain and making it possible for me to continue to work.
All Percocets 5mg, 7.5 mg and 10mg work better than much stronger pain medicines like Oxycontin.
I've been taking Percocet 10/650 for about a year due to a neck injury. I take my medication as directed. I don't take extra no matter how much I hurt. I've done therapy and injections. I've bought special chairs, keyboards and mattresses. My doctor does not recommend neck surgery due to the low success rate.
Percocet does not give the relief it did in the beginning.
