"oxycontin is the best drug i have ever had.  i suffer from a prolapsed disc l5/s1. i also have a lot of shoulder pain due to a work accident where i had a bad fall. my dosage for oxycontin is 120mg twice a day.  i also take panadeine forte 200mg twice a day also oxynorm 10mg 1-2 times per day for breakthrough pain.  i also wear a patch called fentanyl durgesic 75mgr. i also get injections every 2-3 months, i also take a lot of depression medication. overall with this combination my pain is under control most days but some days i cannot even get up and i lose my balance a lot.  i have to rotate my movements regularly during the day and night i cannot sleep properly due to the pain."
