For Pain "When I first began taking Percocet 5/325 for disc protrusion L5-S1, I became very constipated. My doctor prescribed Polyethylene Glycol, a powder for oral solution. This is Maalox, and it has been a Godsend for me. I am no longer constipated since about 6 months ago. Just take it as prescribed, and it truly works."

For Pain "Feb 2018 I don't like taking strong meds. I developed horrible upper thigh leg spasms from a pinched nerve in my back. Couldn't sleep, terrible pain. Doctor gave me Oxycodone 325...wonderful meds. No pain after 1/2 tab. Yes, dizziness. Take with Metamucil to avoid constipation. Drink plenty of fluids. No other side effects other than a little tinnitus. Good job, researchers. Finally, a decent pain killer that doesn't rot your stomach! Like Advil and stronger than Extra Strength Tylenol. Wish the provincial government would cover it though."

For Pain "I take 2 x 5 mg pills for kidney stones. It's like morphine, it will make you lightheaded and dizzy. Constipation is a problem with this medicine too."

For Chronic Pain "I have been on pain meds for 20 years. Percocet is pretty good. I do not like the side effect of severe constipation."
