So I go back to my pain dr and let him know how bad I'm hurting and he says that is as high as he goes with ocycontin! Now to me that just sounds crazy because I guess I'm just suppose to suffer!! Would you try and go to another pain dr for relief or does this sound like the norm?

18 years of back pain and I realize now that not just narcotics are reccomended for pain,its the combination of meds. I use Diragesic/Cymbalta/Celebrex/Vicodan and daily therapy such as swimming,walking,etc. Theres more to pain than just Narcotics. Alot of Pain Specialist are trained as to what pain requires what dose of meds,a bulging disc for instance doesnt require as much Oxy as a Herniated/degenerated disc you see,ask for another med to work with his prescribed dose of oxy such as a muscle relaxer,nerve block etc.Good Luck!
