how did switching from oxycodone to methadone cause your hernias? does it weakin the stomach walls or cause more constipation? Thats a notable thing to know, it will keep alot of us from running into the same problem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bobber

I was started out on what I understand was a fairly hefty dose of Methodone, 30 mg./day. Unfortunately, my pm doc. didn't know that I had discontinued the use of Naloxone HCL, taken orally 1/mg. every time I took an Oxycontin/oxycodone, due to the extreme cost issue, when I had found that Senaokot-S, a good over the counter stool softener that he had also reccommended, did the trick when I just took 4 tablets at bedtime. Turned out, that was nothing against Methadone, which completely shut me down. Then it was just a matter of straining to produce results, and that's all it took. That said, I was later advised by a pharmacist that I would have had better luck taking the Senokot-S with the each of the three daily doses of Methadone, as much as 8 tablets a day.

Live and learn.

[QUOTE=sue k;548586]I WAS OUTSIDE YESTERDAY LOOKING AT MY FLOWER GARDEN IT ISN'T DOIN WELL BECAUSE OF ALL THE RAIN. MY DAUGHTER GAVE ME A MARIGOLD PLANT FOR MOTHERS DAYGIFT IN 1988. EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN PICKING THEM AND DRYING THEM OUT. I GET TONS OF SEEDS. WELL I WENT TO TURN AROUD AND TRIPPED OVER A TOY ONE OF THE KIDS LEFT OUT. I SPUN AROUND SO HARD AND LANDED ON MY BUTT. I TRIED TO GET UP AND THE PAIN SHOT UP MY LEG. I COULDN'T OFF OF THE GROUND. I SCREAMED FOR MY HUSBAND. IT STARTED SWELLING SO FAST BY THE TIME HE GOT THERE IT WAS LIKE A BALLOON & PURPLE. THEY GOT ME INTO THE CAR AND I SCREAMED ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. WELL I BROKE MY KNEE IN TWO PLACES. OF COURSE ITS THE LEG WITH THE RSD. IT HURTS SO BAD, THE PAIN CLINIC DOUBLED MY DOSE OF OXYCODONE. i GO TO THE ORTHO DOC ON MONDAY. THEY SAID I MIGHT NEED AN OPERATION. I AM SO SCARED. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. THANKYOU,

Sue,

OMG! No!!! :(

I would be scared too. You broke your knee in two places and it's the RSD leg? I hope they are willing to do surgery on it as the fracture probably can't remain as is.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Monday.
Let us know what happens!

Thanks Mike,
i was going to ask the same question as bobber, about your hernias. My husband had double hernia surgery, no fun. Isn't it outrageous how a med can skyrocket within one year. Not acceptable, but what can we do? Take care, your friend, loretta

Sue,

How are you today? Do you know more yet?
