"i&#039;ve been on roxicodone for about two years now and this is the only short acting medication that has worked.  i have been through all the short acting or break through medicines and roxicodone is by far the greatest.  i am on high doses due to having gastric bypass and not absorbing as a &#039;normal&#039; person would.  i need to have my tailbone removed as it&#039;s broken and swinging around back there.  not to mention it&#039;s broken at a 90 degree angle or angulated.  insane pain.
