Kate: Just like Koala77 said disturbing the outer coating of Oxycontin is what drug addicts due. So lets just put that subject to rest! The man I know who does it has one leg and does take to much pills for his own good! I know deep in my heart that he is a drug addict. Also one of these days he will die. By doing the things he does. Kate just trust your Dr's and most of all trust your mind and your body and heart! I know that you will and that you have all the support that you need. We are all with you! Breezy55
