No side effects from it other than having to take a stool softner maybe once a month if that. I guess I'm lucky on that end

And yes the oxycodone does help me. I can take up to 3 a day and most days I have to use the 3. Not sure why your pain mgmt would say that. Sounds more like my neuro talking

When I was just going to my PCP and a neuro the neuro would not prescribe me any type of pain meds...I had to get them from my PCP and my neuro wasn't too happy about it but it was helping me.

I'm also on 1800 mg of gabapentin. That's my personal limit with that drug

Does your pain mgmt. dr not give you anything for pain ?

The only drug the pain management doctor suggested was Nortriptyline, which my Neuro could have easily added. Plus, it will take 2 to 4 weeks to work. It makes me feel spacey and drugged up during the day and I'm only on 10 mg. He also is working on a topical compound that I have not received yet. Frustrating because the pain is overwhelming most of the time.
