"i&#039;ve been taking oxycotin now for about two years. i&#039;ve been through just about everything else you can think of due to the 5 ruptured discs i have. pain blocker, nerve deadening, etc and even physical therapy but i&#039;ve haven&#039;t found anything as useful as oxycotin. it&#039;s been relatively side effect free for me and i can function pretty well day to day because of it."
