"this drug has been so good for my pain due to widespread very frequent (150  tiimes a day and chronic shoulder dislocation) dislocations all over my body. i have pain because my bones grind together so much. i went off it for about 6 months last (march &#039;14 to october &#039;14)year because my pain doctor wanted me to and i didn&#039;t think it was helping. i had been on it for 9 months (july&#039;13 to march &#039;14) at that point. i started into a downward spiral and by october i was in the hospital an put on a dilaudid pain pump because my pain was out of control. now i have been on it for year and my pain control is great now"
