"i have neuropathy in all 4 limbs. i have been on so many pain pills and the only relief i get is from the oxycodone 30mgs - 4 x a day and oxycontin 40mgs twice a day. if not for oxycontin. i would not be able to function at all. i couldn&#039;t get out of bed. the break-through pain is controlled with the oxycodones. if not for both of these medications i wouldn&#039;t have a life. as long as you are not abusing them you are fine. i have a doctor who helps me and knows how much pain i am in and cannot function without them.
