For Pain: Have been on oxycodone 30 mg for about 4 years,have DDD and anular radial tear.. Basically my back is wrecked.. Tried all other types of meds but none made my life worth living again like the oxycodone.. Although I'm prescribed 5 a day I find some days don't need all 5..wish ppl would not abuse meds because have made it hard for the ones who do!

For Pain: I have had sciatica for 15 or so years. Went to neurosurgeon, actually 3 and was not convinced surgery would help. I have a leg length discrepancy and my tail bone didn't form correctly. I tried everything. P.T. Chiropractor nothing helps. Tried Gabapentin it just made me exhausted. Oxycodone has worked for me.
