Comparing Oxycodone vs OxyContin

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.

For Pain: Ahhhh, the dreaded drug...no matter what you call it, by whatever media-scare tactic out there, what isn't trumpeted are the success stories....why is that? Does something have to be "Negative" to garner press? And if so, why is that? My story: Two brain surgeries. Manmouth amounts of pain. I tried everything -- nothing lasted like this drug. It has allowed me to go back to work, to live my life, to be a father to my children. Screw the strange looks @the pharmacy...I'm alive!

For Pain: I'm a chronic back pain sufferer who's endured extensize physical therapy, endless pain medicines, muscle relaxers, antiepileptic/antispasmodics, etc., before reluctantly undergoing surgery - Anterior lumbar fusion with posterior stabilization. Unfortunately surgery failed to relieve the pain. OxyContin's been a life-saver for me (80 mg 2/daily Percocet 10/325 for breakthrough pain)- Nothing short of miraculous in it's ability to allow me to perform daily tasks I was unable to perform previously.
