Unfortunately, they are narcotics; Oxycontin, as well as percocet for breakthru pain. I use AmbinCR to sleep; otherwise just painful laying down. With the Ambin, I at least get a good 5 hrs. sleep.
I hope you can get some relief. My suggestion would be to see a Pain Specialist.

Thank you for your response. I am so sorry for your pain. I am seeing a pain specialist, but for some reason he doesn't want to be the one to handle my "case". I don't get to see the doctor just his NP, and I always get the feeling like he doesn't want to see me again. He always has a reason for why someone else should handle my meds or why I don't need to make another appointment to come back. I too take narcotics to get through the day. I wouldn't be able to take care of myself and my daughter if not for having them. I am hoping that one day I won't need them but for now I will do what I have to to get through this. I will not be a "victim". I wish you all the luck in the world. It helps knowing you are not the only one going through this hell, ya know?
