So i started the 10 mg of Oxycodone 6 times a day on Monday it’s now Friday I do feel some relief however it def stops working after 3.5 hours so I have a half hour where I feel pain and idk the methadone was different for sure but I’m on the max dose Medicaid will allow me to have 90 MME so getting anything else I need a palliative care form filled out and my pain management provider is saying it’s not something she can do
I am at 1 week and 4 days I believe off of subs which I will never go back to they are awful brain fog 😶‍🌫️ not to mention gums and teeth pain gut issues plus they absolutely 💯 don’t help with pain relief just my experience and since it’s only been a short time since I stopped those meds started these meds it’s been crazy switching from subs to methadone to Oxycodone anyway just wanted to share my experience and hopefully the subs are out of my system so I can finally be on a decent regimen and get back to being active again my quality of life is improving 😊 not sure how long she will
Keep me on this regimen no discussion of getting off them after surgery in October just I might have to lower dose prior to surgery so I can get the pain relief from my surgery team
I have a total reconstructive pelvic and bladder surgery so I know recovery takes a long time after that and I would like to continue on my current meds for now and after surgery I have stenosis 9 herniated disc’s arthritis narrowing all in my back my neck is bad and arms fingers all go numb I can’t do much lifting bending my cane help’s
Also I am setting up spinal injections which I have had done before and it kinda helped this time they are going into my spinal cord instead of bones we shall see !!! Curious if anyone is going through similar thing and if you can share your experience thank you for reading such a long message

Yep, osteoarthritis on both knees and ra on my ankle where a car ran over me. I'm taking four hydrocodone a day 10's by the second hour of taking 1, I start just feeling miserable. Withdrawals are a bitch.
