Well, I saw my PM today. He is going to keep me on the Opana ER 20mg 2 x a day, and he is adding Opana IR 5mg for breakthru pain. He has taken me of Lyrica, Yea!!!!. I really didn't like it at all. My hands have started swelling up so much I can't close them. I'll be glad when it's out of my system. I really LOVE the Opana er. It has to be one of the best meds on the market. I was going to get the pain pump, but since on the Opana er, I don't think I need it anymore. Opana er really has given me my life back. My pain goes from a 1 to maybe a 5 in the evening, (that's why the breakthru meds). I'm so happy with it. Finally...
