My NP wants me to take Oxycodone. I just cannot take this medication. I have not filled the script. The way I respond to the lower forms of meds, has me petrified to even take the oxycodone.
Because I am a work comp patient, I still have not been approved to see a neurologist and at this point I think I will have to go to the ER. What can they do for me??
Have any of you had side effects from all of the above and oxy??
My CRPS is in my right arm to right hand. Today though, the bottom of my feet are burning and I am getting really worried. I don't know what to do. I had a gastric bypass 5 years ago and I do not absorb the meds the way someone with a normal stomach does, I think this is part of the issue. My CRPS happened this past December from a work accident. This is just terrible.

Oxy is the one med that provides me with the greatest relief. I'm on other medications, but that one is my must have med. I do not know what the harsher effects of Oxy are, since I don't notice them, since the drug helps me so much. In my case many of the other drugs that you mentioned also provided help help for me but gave me such nasty side effects that I could not take them. I see you have some of those same hardships in relation to some of those drugs too. What is your doc saying about the side effects in relation to your "trying" Oxycodone?
