Hi Everyone,
I'm dealing with this also. I have tried vicodin and percocet with no help at all. It was like I didn't take anything. I have been taking oxycodone with varied results.
I have had extensive conversations about pain medications with my PM. Generally, the motto is that if you don't take pain medications more than twice a week, you're not going to become addicted. I only take pain meds for when I have a flare. So, if you are in pain, rest assured that if you need them, you're ok if you only take them twice a week.
I talked with my pm doctor and said I would gladly take regular tests to show that I'm not addicted. That's not the issue. The issue is that I am in pain and I need something that actually works. It's very hard for them to understand the level of pain that we are in.
