pain
"Nothing else has worked for a chronic pain condition I have suffered with since a car accident in 1987 and several subsequent injuries. The hydrocodone drugs and Neurontin don't begin to touch the pain. I have been seeing a highly-rated and competent specialist for 4 years now, and we have tried many different medicines alone and combined.  Still the only long-term relief I have had in 22  years is from a combination of long-acting generic Oxycodone 80 mg. every 8 hours (or more expensive brand-name OxyContin if it isn't) and short-acting 30 mg tablets of immediate-release Oxycodone up to 1 every 4 hours. At last, I don't have to live out the rest of my life (I'm 62) in misery and actually find myself MORE active than I've been in years."
