Thanks, she's doing well. She has made a good recovery and returned to work and can do most of what she used to, just had to give up a few bad habits; smoking among those. Good luck.

@tocool4u....all the best to your kid brother and to you as well, my friend.

Hmmm...this thread has gotten interesting. I guess we all have more in common than wouldn't be obvious. I got into a nasty accident and fractured some vertebrae nearly 25years ago which required a lot of spinal surgery. Have had a steady diet of steroids and oxycontin since. (That's what makes me so "chatty" ...just chalk it up to drug induced rambling LOL!)

 

That oxycodone is some wicked stuff, hurt my back about a year and half ago, my doc gave a prescription of 100 until I could get in to see the orthopedic doc took two and was flying so high I stopped. Figured the pain was better than the high feeling, I still got 98 sitting on the shelf.

"Hillbilly Heroin". Now you're going to have a line forming at your door for "rambling" therapy. LOL

On a more serious note, Arniebear... there's addicts that would kill for that stash, literally.

 

@arniebear...both the "high" and the sleepiness wear off after a while...it continues to work but you lose the "high". If it weren't for oxycontin though, I'd be on disability.

It really gets on unfair rap; I get nervous when they talk about making it illegal. Junkies abuse it and the people who use it legitimately pay the price. Its a "time-released" synthetic morphine which last for 8-10 hours. Junkies will chew it or crush it which delivers 10 hours of synthetic morphine all at once which is obviously dangerous. Those jerks make it hard for legitimate patients.

 

@gerry

I know what you mean about those who abuse what is a legit aid too many people. My wife gets migraines and on occasion will take darvocet to ease the pain. When my daughter was younger she had a boyfriend who came from a good family and was very nice. Unfortunately, he stole a whole bottle of my wifes meds, just goes to show you cannot judge any book by its cover. Needless to say my daughter dropped him.

It's even more dangerous when injected. There's a lot of deaths because the drug can accumulate in the system.

As for the bad rap, any pain management drug gets a bad rap. Even the practitioners in the medical field improperly (under) medicate most patients due to the stigma. Oxycontin is one of the most effective pain management drugs on the market, but due to the outcry of the uninformed, who see it as the "Hillbilly Heroin", it can't be used as it should. Most of the street drugs are usually from another country or stolen. Only a small percentage is actually diverted prescriptions.

Now how'd I know that?

 

With age not only comes knowledge but infirmity, lol. So far my fingers still work, so I can keep typing.

 

I guess I've already let the cat out of the bag. I got my back busted up in a shop accident, leaving several vertebrae messed up. It's inoperable, so I get to grin and bear it. For a long time I was prescribed Oxycontin. Gerry described it. The body builds up a tolerance and the high goes away. It does a better job than other pain meds on the market when used properly. Once the dosage is adusted and a person gets used to it, they can function fairly well as long as they pay attention to not hurting themself. I've since been changed to less effective meds. Some doctors have different ideas about pain meds, as I stated earlier. Luckily I'm still mobile and can get out and ride a motorcycle occasionally and have some semblance of a normal life. It just hurts like hell sometimes, when the nerves get pinched.

LOCOENG
I was actually surprised at first, but there's quite a few people in the same predicament. Age and accidents show little mercy.

 

@brobear

I understand all to well the misery of backpain, but you can't let it stop you. I just get through it, mine is better at the moment and I am not limping as much as I was, but when I overdo the nerves really start to pinch. But, I still got too many things to do in life so gotta keep going.

 

@brobear...I'd never thought about but I guess junkies would indeed try injecting it. Arniebear is something of an exception to the rule; most people who take oxycontin are "chronic pain" patients; I take it three times a day as one would take a blood pressure medication. I take percocet along with it should it inflame from chronic to acute.

It's really a shame but doctors are literally afraid to treat pain; if I have to get a new doctor, I have to go through all sorts of hell. Also, if you take it like a regular med as I do, you're best to find a mom and pop pharmacy and make arrangement with them for your monthly percription; oxycontin has become damn near impossible to find. It's probably easier to get on the street...I guess that my big bitch about it; efforts to control its abuse has only impacted the doctor and the patient that use it legitimately. After the "high" has worn off as well as the sleepingess the exact opposite starts to happen...it seems to become a stimulant of sorts. You really do get "chatty" and it does continue to effect temperment; it is very difficult to get me "rattled" or pissed off.

@arniebear...I can't begin to count the number of times I've had it stolen. Maint people working in the bldg have taken it right out of my med cabinet, I've had it stolen from my desk at work. Its unbelieveable ... like you said, you think you know someone then bam. I can't figure out which of my coworkers it is but one is a drug thief and you wouldn't think it of any one of them.

By the way, you could probably buy a new car with what you've got sitting in you med cabinet!

I get all my meds through a hospital pharmacy. They keep just about everything. Some pharmacies won't keep Oxycontin due to armed robbery and internal theft. The money that can be made on the drug illegally is ridiculous.

 

@brobear...I tried that but in Philly, hospital pharmacies only sell to patients being discharged, not to the general public...it must be the law because none of them do which makes no business sense.
