Yes, let's all say "Hurry up, Docs and get the bone off that nerve in your back!" You know there's a higher level of narcotic pain patch that others have found very helpful for their very high pain level---the fentenyal or Duragesic patch, you might ask your Dr. about it and it comes in different strengths. You wear it for 2-3 days and change it, starting low and adding as to your pain level requirements, with your Dr. Until you have surgery, you have to let him know how much you are in pain....don't be shy about it. I learned.....and I'm normally a quieter person. Anyway, I hope you find some relief soon from one way or another. If the patch idea gets nowhere, ask for an increase in the oxycodone....actually ask for that first.

I can't have that patch until I am sure that I can tolerate at least 30 mg of oxycodone a day.. and right now I am only on 10mg of oxycodone 2 times a day... so I would need to be on 15 mg at least twice a day before I can go to the patch.
