Sorry it didn't work for you. They are coming up with all kinds of meds. Maybe in the future, they will come up with one that will really work good for most everybody. I still take my pain drugs and I go through a lot of icy hot. The icy hot seems to help take the edge off somewhat. I go through a tube every week. After I take my roxicodone, I am very sleep. I usually sleep for 2 to 4 hours everyday. I am always tired. God Bless all.
