pain
"I have OA in my knees and muscular joint pain.  I took Oxycodone for several years.  I have a T11/12 herniation and 2 lumber bulges.  The spinal issues cause my feet to burn after lying in bed for a couple hours which lead to many sleepless nights.  I was prescribed Gabapentin.  It was 90% efficient in blocking the neuropathy but caused horrible cognitive side effects.  I asked the doctor to let me try Nucynta.  Not only did it work better than the oxy on my OA and such, it was nearly as effective as the gabapentin for nerve pain.  I take Nucynta ER 50 twice daily and Nucynta IR 50 once daily if needed.  The Nucynta causes no euphoria as with the oxycodone.  I sleep 8 hours a night and no burning sensation in my feet."
