oxycontin for osteoarthritis

I also took Darvocet and there is nothing else for my pain except the real strong stuff and I am trying to hold off as long as I can before I would take those, I have osteoarthritis in my joints, I need a hip replacement and I have osteoarthritis in my back also, I dont know what to take for pain.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I'm sorry I haven't replied to you sooner. I didn't receive any notification on this. I just happened to look at my posts & saw there were 2 answers. I got an emergency appt with a GP at my clinic. He did a thorough check and luckily said it's not pleurisy, but a severe chest infection.

I have been in a pain management program for 4 years. I have taken 20 mg Oxycontin three times a day and also 10 mg Loritab three times a day. I received a letter last week where they informed me they were dismissing me from the program. Well that left me with what medications I had left in my bottles to try to wean myself off of them. Now is the time and I am really scared of what is going to happen, I don't think it will be good.

I have taken ibuprofen for weeks at a time in the past for the osteoarthritis in my jaws. I try to take it sparingly for it now. But I get frequent heartburn and was recently put on cytotec generic, which is supposed to help with stomach lining. I have tried acupuncture, which I thought helped some, herbal heat pack, ice, valium, ibuprofen and wear a flat-planed splint for my jaw osteoarthritis.

I have, over the past month completely withdrawn from Oxycontin neo. (had been on 60mg/day for about 12yrs). I have severe FMS/CFS and osteoarthritis (2 knees replacements and full skeletal involvement), as well as most of the illnesses under the FMS umbrella. I was dx with IBS when I was 28 and am now 52. I went through a treatment 10 years ago for high levels of that gut bacteria (sorry..cant remember the name) which contributes to Gastric reflux disease. Have that as well.

But they sure ordered the PET scans (for my lungs, I smoke). The PETS have always been good. Then this past October, I had severe pain in my back (thoracic). My oncologist ordered plain old xrays and they concluded it was osteoarthritis. Ten days later I was in the ER with sever cramps from the middle of my back to my ribs. The ER doctor did an IVP of my kidneys. He found kidney stones, bladder infection, and oh by the way, cancer on my spine!

If you have osteoarthritis then have acupuncture for pain relief

I have pain in the right knee for two years now. X-rays show lack of fluid in the knee. Thus giving lot of pain. I have tried all sorts of therapies, but to no effect. I am now thinking of either get a shot or replace the knees. The left knee is also on the brink. I have to use pain killers. Please advise about taking a shot if I should take a shot of Synvisc-One. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1037175'>Changing from Supartz to Synvisc-One shots</a>.

I have Osteoarthritis and it is getting worse. I taken Celebrex, Norco, Tramadol and Vicopren. None of these are working. I don't have insurance and go to a public health clinic. They don't seem to know what to do. Could you please advise me on what I can take that will help with the chronic pain and will be inexpensive.

I have a question about Osteoarthritis and the pain that comes with it. Last November I had 5, 6, and 7 upper vertebra fused together and feel so much better in that way BUT i can't take anti inflammatory medications for my Osteoarthritis, Tylenol doesn't even help a bit and non of the arthritis over the counter meds help either. My question is... is there a non narcotic pain medication that I can take every day? I am 45 years old and very healthy besides my arthritis. thank you!

t think that is what you are looking for. What symptoms are you experiencing now? What treatment has the doctor prescribed? What area of your body is effected?

I have osteoarthritis in my neck moderate and mild in lower back. Can and adjusment help? will they even do an adjustment me? i seem to be losing sensativity in my legs but dont know if iy du to oa in back nad neck.any help would be great. thank you.

I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?

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.

thnx Trudie, i hurt so bad because of cervical spine osteoarthritis, this was my reason for overdose, i have been told their is no op available. It's to dangerous.....lol......there are no painkillers available.....lmfao......and i'm losing the use of my arms, i mean......WTF !..........oh and i cant get cannabis on private prescription cos it is so dear over here.....£264....FFS!....for something that lasts less than 2 weeks.......i know i'm whining but chronic pain makes u do that.

Lodine is used to relieve the inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain of osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used to relieve pain in other situations.

You must be unable to perform your old job with accommodations for your illness or any job in the US economy that you are qualified for due to your medical disability.

"The definition of disability under Social Security is different than other programs. Social Security pays only for total disability.

Why didnt any one tell me? My doctors just said my x-rays were normal, but how can this be normal for someone that was 19 at the time? Since I found this out I have been doing more research on my history, and I have arthritis in my hips as well. When I was born, my hips were underdeveloped and dislocated. My mom always tells me this story about the doctors telling her to put 3 or so diapers on me to support everything while I was getting more strength in my hips.

ve also had a blood test taken to determine if Osteoarthritis was the cause. However, the test turned out negative for Osteoarthritis. I had an X ray done as well which did not reveal anything significant. However, the Orthopaedic did an Ultrasound and found tt it was Patella Tedonosis which I did not think was the case. In fact, another Orthopaedic (private) diagnosed me as having CMP with bilateral knee effusion. What do u make of both diagnosis? Which is more accurate?
