For Chronic Pain "Very effective. I have 3 bulging discs in my neck, 2 herniated discs in my lower back, and torn ligaments in both knees, had surgery on right, the left is next but still very painful, from a major car accident, left me disabled. I take 60 mg OxyContin 2x daily and 30 mg oxycodone 4x daily. And it has been a life saver, thanks to my compassionate Dr. who understands my chronic pain, I can actually live my life. And take care of all my adopted animals that need me."

For Chronic Pain "Have had back problems for 25 years, my doctor has me on 30 mg 2X a day. My doctor is so scared of the DEA that it took a lot to get this. I really need 3 a day but he won't hear of it. I wish he would give me this and maybe something else for the breakthrough pain but he will not do it. Just glad I get this much."

For Pain "My husband has degenerative disc disease. He has had a two-level spinal fusion on his L5 and S1 discs, as well as two rods and six screws of hardware in his spine. He was only 27 years old when this injury happened. I totally feel for anyone who has to suffer from back pain. It changed his life forever. Normal activities that people take for granted every day were almost impossible for him to do. He's been through numerous doctors and has tried every pain medication out there. He now takes 30 mg Roxicodone six times a day. It has totally been a lifesaver for him and given him his quality of life back. He still has some pain and bad days, but nothing like before."

For Pain "This medicine was great. Like you all say, I got my life back, but then I started to get to where I felt like I was 80 years old in the morning. I had severe leg cramps causing me to walk like an 80-year-old woman would walk, and I am only 46. I had pain in my calves and in my heels, shoulder pain severe. I could not sit or stand for long periods of time. I kept telling myself that it was not the Roxy I was on that was causing me so much pain because I liked how it let me get my work done. But then when I started feeling the horrible pain in my calves that I could barely walk and made me very weak, like I could not do my normal stuff, it put me into a depression because I felt like I was old before my time."

For Chronic Pain "I noticed that a side effect of Roxicodone is body aches and pains. The reason I am taking it is because of chronic, severe body aches and pains, especially in my lower back and legs. Is the remedy causing the problem? I guess I will never know because my insurance company will not pre-authorize an MRI."
