as well as TOS i also have sever back problems following two failed surgeries i take oxycodone and use an acticare unit ..but i am still in pain
i went to see my pain consultant on Monday and she said the words that no one wants to hear ...sorry Mr beer there's nothing more we can do for you!!
so i am feeling a bit sorry for myself
thanks straker....im hearing a lot more negatives than positives for this drug which is a put off, have decided to wait to discuss things with my pain cons again first! I have had a good week pain wise and feeling in fairly high spirits.....however i know what lies around the corner so im just savouring these more pleasant days. Im sorry to hear that your pain cons no longer feels they can help - i dont know your story but i feel for you and really hope that you can find another pain cons who can help you manage your pain. take care
