"i have non-repairable ulnar nerve damage caused by a surgeon. have struggled with a 7 to 9 pain level for the last 18 month&#039;s. at one point i was taking 4 x 10mg oxycodones a day with very little relief.  two days after switching to nucynta er, my pain level has been around 0-2.  absolutely gave me my life back.  no side effects and no withdrawals.  my insurance does not cover, but my doctor gave a card that insures i never pay more than $25.00 per month."
