I have had 3 back surgeries & 1 spinal fusion. At least when I take this drug I can walk, and do a few things I could not do before I started taking this drug. Without this drug I would be sitting in a chair all day suffering, not being able to do much at all. Thank God For Medicine.

I had been taking Oxycontin 40 mg., 2 X a day for two months. I was given Lortab 10 mg. and Soma as adjuncts. Last week, I noticed spontaneous bruising on my arms and I have had a severe loss of appetite, confusion, and sleeplesness. I take meds for bipolar disorder, but have been taking the same meds for years. So I looked at what was new and it had to be the Oxycontin. I threw it out and although, my pain continues to be severe, the bruising has decreased, my mental alertness is better and I am eating better. I will be seeing a new PCP next week and will report this to him and ask what my alternatives are. I have spinal arthritis, leaking discs, spondylosis, bone spurs, and bursitis.

I have been taking this a considerable time. I have had to increase the doseage, but it has helped me to get back to work and have quality of life

I am using oxycontin for cronic back pain since i had spinal fusion surgery. I now have problems with my sacroiliac joints and other problems that the fusion did not fix. I take 20 mg. time relase tablets twice a day and i find much relief, although i do experience some break trough pain in between my dosing time of every twelve hours.

It has helped, but not given strong doses unless injections.
