"whenever i am in pain, this is my go to medication. i have a back, shoulder, neck, and foot injury and by rights should be on this medicine for chronic pain. for right now i only take it very rarely so that it works when needed, to avoid a tolerance. because i am not working i am able to deal with the pain, however when i go back to work, i will most likely have to go on this medication or a similar one full time. the only thing i do not like is the fact that many of these narcotic pain medications contain tylenol, asperin, or ibuprofin which makes your kidneys, liver and other organs go through unnecessary stresses. i prefer it to be just oxycodone and if i need the synergy of tylenol i can add it on my own."
