Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia oxycontin
fibromyalgia
I know someone who has been on OxyContin for about 9 years for Fibromyalgia pain. This person gets about 90 OxyContin a month. I personally think that is outrageous. I really wish the FDA would get rid of this drug completely.
i think my body is used to the oxycontin and when i have a flareup, only ibuprophen seems to help, not more oxycontin or oxyfast. I used to use oxyfast when i had a flareup but i don't get them like that anymore. ergo, either i am in fact over the worst of the fibromyalgia and can get by with ibuprofen or i am on the right maintenance dose and will simply have to live with the oxycontin daily as i have been for 8 years. no way to know until i go for it.
I take 20 mg of oxycontin morning and night. I use oxycodone twice a day 5/325. I have chronic pain. Severe arthritis, fibromyalgia, senior citizen, unemployed.
I am ready to stop taking oxycontin. I've used them for about a year and a half. I had exhaustion and left my job. I've had two knee replacements. I am ready to return to the workforce. I hope half-time. Money is an issue and my husband is ill with Alzheimer's. He is in LTC at this time.
Im a Fibromyalgia patient with severe body aches and pain bad enough for narcotic pain killers. I get urine drug tested every month when i go to get my prescriptions from a pain management clinic. I have tested positive for either Hydrocodone or Oxycontin the last 6 times I tested. I havent taken Hydrocodone in 5 years and Ive never taken Oxycontin. The dr doesnt believe me and Im probably gonna be released because of it. I cant make him believe me.
I have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthrits and Fibromyalgia, so I have chronic pain. I take several medications, some of which are narcotic pain killers (Oxycotin, Percocet, Neurotin). I'm having shoulder surgery later this month and I'm a little concerned since I'm already taking all these meds - how will the dr. be able to manage this additional pain?
Approximately one year ago she was prescribed Oxycontin (180 mg per day) for relief from pain of fibromyalgia, DDD and carpal tunnel. Her doctor stopped prescribing about 7-8 months ago and she has been getting it from a friend. She is tired of the addiction and seems determined to kick it. I want to help her succeed but need some advice.
I was also prescribed oxycontin for awhile. Before the oxycontin I was taking oxycodone. They were 5mg and I was instructed to take 2 every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain so I was taking 10mg every 5 hours or so. When my doctor switched me to oxycontin I was started with the 10mg. He upped it within a week because I felt more relief from the oxycodone immediate release. Get the picture? Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same type of narcotic. The difference is oxycodone has acetaminophen.
I've had fibromyalgia since 1992. I remember when they said I had it. I said "ok what now." it's been a life long process of trial and error. And we are all very different.
I am sitting here right now with my Tens unit on my neck. If you have not heard of those look that up on the internet. They use the commercial version in physical therapy. IT really helps. It's like electrical stimulation. It is small electrodes that are sticky that you place on the area of pain.
hopefully, only a month, I have to pay for my meds out of pocket. I cannot seem to find a pharmacy that dispenses generic oxycontin sr 20mg. Any suggestions?
hey everyone. my name is denise. i been batteling an oxycontin/percocet addiction since i had a surgery 2 years ago. i have been in so much pain & went to the doctors and they diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. i cant stop myself sometimes from not using pain killers cause now my body just wont get rid of pain unless it is a narcotic. i dont know what to do anymore!
I have spent a yeasr cutting back the oxycontin a doctor precribed after I shattered my ankle. I alsi have arthritis, fibromyalgia, a damaged spine and degenerastive bone disease so I am in genuine pain 24 hours a day. The doctor cut 50mgs at once the first time around and I ended up in the hospital with hypoxia and serotonin poisoning. He has been cutting them down by 5mgs every two months..I can habdle that but have to take nausea meds.
I was recently perscribed morphine for my fibromyalgia and spurs on my spine. My question is does the morphine make you really nauseated and throw up. The last few days the side effects have slowed down, but I would still like to hear some suggestions from people in the forum.
I'm 47, female and after 8 years of progressively worse hip pain blamed on fibromyalgia, controlled with oxycontin, I insisted on a MRI of my hips. The MRI showed a fluid signal in the superior labrum at the 12:00 to 1:00 position with a likely cause listed as a labrum tear. There is also mild edema within the gluteus medius and minimus tendons and edema around the gluteus maximus. There is also thickening of the gluteus minimus and medius.
Just as most, this started as legitimate and even current treatment, however my objective of stopping the use of these is to TRULY get a feel for how much pain I am in and what the minimum is to control it. I have Fibromyalgia, Degen Disc Disease, and peripheral neuropathy. There are worst days than others, some better days than others - however the doses of the extended-release remained the same and I simply took less of, or more of, the breakthrough.
Hi there everyone. I'm new here and have a question that I hope someone here can help me with. I'm a 32 year old female with chronic pain. I have cervical dystonia in my neck, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and hidertitis supperteva (sp?). I had been taking 20 mg opana 2x day along with 30 mg Oxycodone 4x day. My pain management doctor changed my dosage this last month to 40 mg opana 2x day and 30 mg Oxycodone 3x day.
-Aches and pains basically on entire body; worst in the neck, shoulders, back, arms, thighs, and lower legs
-Some pain on almost all joints, feels more when I move my joints.
-My joints feel they are missing some lubrication, they make cracking sounds when I move them
-Burning sensation on feet when I walk and hands especially during the night.
My Neurologist said it works on some but more than half his patients using it for pain management, restless leg and fibromyalgia, had so many side effects they have stopped taking it.
I have been averaging 3 tabs of 10/325 Norco a day. I take it for numerous reasons...spinal stenosis - but it helps all of my arthritis. I stopped 2 days ago and hurt all over...I do this even when on the meds sometimes but the meds will pull me up. If I increased to 4 a day I am fairly pain free. But my Dr. won't do that so I am trying to just stop. I have fibromyalgia and I started with 3 tabs of 7.
