You really should be on some type of extended release pain med, you do have a chronic pain condition correct?? Short acting meds for a long term condition just seem logical to me.

I think an extended release pain medicine makes sense and then a short acting med for break thru pain.

I know on the TOS forum that is pretty much the most of the long timers have, and usually a sleep med and /or antidepressant added too.
