Hey all,

I am currently seeing a pain management doctor who wants to take me off of Percocet. She told me that this medication supposedly exacerbates our condition and will no longer prescribe it to me.

This is the only medication that I found that stops the stabbing that occurs when things get bad, and I am devastated to have it taken away from me.

Has anyone else heard this? That Percocet/Oxycodone makes our condition worse?

I am also going through the spinal injections, which don't seem to be helping very much (maybe just a little), but I wind up with horrible back pain afterwards.

Please, anyone, I would appreciate feedback ASAP as I am scheduled to see her on Monday and I struggle every day to not take my medication, trying to save it for those times when the pain is so bad I can't see straight - but every day is a struggle because it is the only thing I have been prescribed that helps. I would love to find articles that contradict what she is telling me.......

Thanks in advance,

Pix
