Re: Uncle! I gave in and took the oxycontin/Debbi

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbi,

Thanks for your letter!

I've been on Percocet for about 2-3 years now. And with all my major joints

failing and multiple surgeries the Ortho Doc decided to switch me to

Oxycontin. I have both chronic Moderate- Severe constant pain, plus acute

pain when something tears. I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard

place. I do not have a pain management Dr. Ortho is prescribing all the pain

meds. Should I have something else for breakthrough pain? Thanks for writing

to me, I appreciate it so much!.How are you doing?

Sincerely, S.
