"i was on avinza for about 6 years for chronic pain and so far it has been the best medication that i have ever been prescribed. unfortunately i have had to switch medicines due to the cost of them.  i have still been unable to find a medicine that works as well with my pain. i can manage the pain with ms contin but i have to take more pills a day than with the avinza. so anybody out there that truly needs to find some relief, my advice is to try it if you can afford it."
