"I have been through 6 failed lower back operations, have 2 cages. They did cut too large bones off my hip to put in the cages. He did not put the screws in to hold the cages in. He said it was a tight fit. What BS! I have 6 bad docs for upper back."

"My father was on this drug along with many others prescribed by the GP. My dad had chronic back pain from scar tissue from a back operation when I was a young child in the 70s. My dad had been on this for 22-26 years, to my knowledge. My dad was hooked on these to survive daily life. Eventually, dad got liver damage that is normally due to drink (alcohol), my dad didn’t drink, and it was medication-related. It went to the next stage, and he got varices, then liver cancer. Dad was lucky to be able to go on a waiting list for another liver. After four attempts rushing to be let down yet again, this time dad was successful. Dad never properly recovered from his liver transplant and was left with hernias x 3! Dad went on more meds, including his previous meds, and the same thing happened again: the new liver got damaged. Almost five years next month since dad had his transplant, and three months ago, my dad died. He died from bleeding to death before us from two clots in his liver and his varices bleeding uncontrollably."

"I was on oxycodone, followed by OxyContin for 10 years, ending in 2018. I experienced severe claustrophobia. After getting off of OxyContin (40 mg x 4 per day), the claustrophobia disappeared. Most reported side effects do not include claustrophobia, so I did not immediately make the connection. I used red Bali kratom 1 mg capsules 6 times daily to reduce withdrawal symptoms. I eliminated OxyContin first, then the fentanyl patch, and finally the 0.5 mg methadone tablets over a 6-month period. I would not suggest this drug to anyone other than a terminally ill patient. It robs you of your free will, your creativity, and logic."

"Only thing that actually worked on my chronic back pain and for a broken collarbone. Too bad, idiots make it harder on those of us who actually need pain relief."

"Been changed from Oxynorm to Shortec. The packets are constantly pierced, and tablets empty, and doctors blame room temperature. Have moved them to various rooms and still having the same issue."
