"i have been in pain care since i had my child a year and a half ago due to arthritis, my hips being offset from giving birth, and a spine curvature which i need a breast reduction for. i started out with vicodin and was going through about 7 pills a day. i was later switched to oxycontin 15 mg three times daily. it worked for a while but it would make me high and then very tired. i became very tolerant to the medication and was switched to morphine sulfate er and it works wonders! i take one in the morning and one before bed and the one i take in the morning lasts all day and keeps me pain free!"
