Hi all,

Unfortunately I'll have to wait until next week for any relief. I'm about to run out of pain medication. I can't get a hold of my doctor, who's out of the office till Monday . And the Risk Management people at the hospital never opened the claim like they were supposed to, so no new doctor s will see me without approval from the claims department .....So I figured until then I could get some ideas to talk to my doctor about.

I'm currently only Oxycodone 5-325 (Tylenol) only
Which I think would work better at a stronger dose as it doesn't last very long. I also have to take 2-3 of them to get any real relief.I am also still waking up in the middle of the night with pain and have to take more. Needless to say I am also exhausted on top of all the pains...

I have ruled out Gabapentin as I can't handle the side effects.


So what combinations have you tried that i can talk to my doctor about. I am afraid of anti-depressants as Lexapro made me suicidal when i took it YEARS ago.
