Avatar n tn I've been on methadone/oxycodone 15mg for 3 yrs for back surgery and ddd in my neck with osteoarthritis in my hip/kneeand ankle. I came off my oxygen in may 2018 and became very depressed. can I switch back to oxygen and eliminate the methadone?
Avatar f tn Thanx for the response Doctor. I'm 39 yrs old, so I guess I'm in the 40 range for osteoarthritis. Since my first comment, I decided to quit those three medications I was taking. So far I can't really tell a difference because of the discomfort of getting off the oxycodone...(It was time to stop taking this stuff for awhile anyways....
Avatar f tn Hello, I have been on oxycodone/acetaminophen 5-325 for 5 months now. I take it 3 or 4 times daily. I have severe osteoarthritis and need a total right hip replacement. I had a total left hip replacement 3 months ago.
8317359 tn?1397621339 Three years ago I was diagnosed with a severe case of osteoarthritis of the spine and I'm told there is NO cure for this medical condition. The doctors have claimed all they can do is treat me for the pain and as of today's date, I have yet to be pain free with this problem. My PCP claims in the 30+ years he has been practicing medicine, he has never seen such a severe case of osteoarthritis as my case? I find that somewhat difficult to believe!
29837 tn?1414534648 Taken Oxycodone 30mg for about a month now. Does hardly anything to quell the enormous back pain I have. Can crushing it and drinking it with apple juice make a difference? Will it work faster?
1459410 tn?1285695005 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.
Avatar n tn If you have osteoarthritis then have acupuncture for pain relief
Avatar m tn 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>.
Avatar f tn 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.
513154 tn?1340225289 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!
Avatar m tn 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?

433485 tn?1321813390 Hi. I have chronic gastritis as well as GERD. I am also in Pain Management due to osteoarthritis in my lower back. Has any found relief from gastritis flares with Oxycodone? Thanks.
Avatar f tn 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?
1094993 tn?1261415009 This pain seems to be getting worse and none of the pain killers I take does a thing for it. I take Opana ER and oxycodone for breakthrough pain. Sometimes it feels like my entire body is just aching all of the time. Its quite disappointing, as I feel soo much better after my surgery! If only I could figure out what is causing this pain. My doc also put me on 600 mg of Gabapentin 3 times per day for nerve pain.
Avatar f tn Wondering if anyone knows of anything that could cause a false positive for oxycodone or have experienced a lab mix up?
Avatar m tn My left knee has bothered me off and on for over a year but now is a constant pain, worsening at night or longer periods slightly bent during the day. When the leg is straightened, instead of the "crease" showing the inner side of the kneecap, there is a HARD knot almost to the bottom, inside area of the kneecap. The entire knee swells at night, but not lots. Ice and / or heat packs do not take the "lump" down in size but help with the general swelling.
Avatar f tn m diagnosed spondalitis, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. I have went from oxycodone 5mg every 6 hr to now 20mg kadian am, 30 mg kadian pm. With an additional 20-5mg oxycodone tablets per month in case I need them. It has taken me 6 month to get this far, and I am still in constant pain. My Dr. Has referred me to a pain specialist, I see him this month. Any advise or even input on exactly what he does or the best way for me to deal with him.
6708370 tn?1471490210 Australian researchers reviewed three randomized trials that compared acetaminophen with a placebo for the relief of spinal pain, and 10 trials that compared their use for easing the pain of osteoarthritis. All together, the analysis included 5,366 patients. Acetaminophen was given orally in doses between 3,000 and 4,000 milligrams a day, except for one study in which a dose of 1,000 milligrams was administered intravenously.
