"if i may start out saying that oxymorphone (opana er) is amazing! i have two bulged disc&#039;s in lumbar region of back. had a disc in the sacrum region of back replaced 2 yrs ago. i have disc degeneration disease. i have a synovial cyst on my spine. and also have arthritis in my hips, knees and feet. i am only 37 yrs old. many a doctor has said i was too young to be in this bad a shape! i am due for spinal fusion in my lower lumbar reg in a month. all this pain which i might add is unbearable at times. i can&#039;t sit or stand for more than 10 minutes at a time. sleep is limited. maybe 4 to 6 hrs. i could not function if it weren&#039;t for oxymorphone! it is a wonder medicine. i thank god and my pain management doc for it everyday! i take 30mg 2 daily. oxycodone10 5x."
