Like the other users, I have had 8 surgeries (5 on my spine) that were unsuccessful. After putting me through pure hell with switching me on ~ Duragesic patch, Oxycontin, Morphine Sulphate, just to name a few. Then, my husband was on the Opana ER, and told me how much it controls his pain. So talked to the doctor and she put me on 40mg of ER, 6 a day, with 10mg of Opana Instant Release. Im so than ...

Im so thankful for this medication, without it, I probably would be in a nuthouse! I am 38 yrs old, walk with a cane, will be in a wheel chair in a couple of years, so to be able to enjoy some of my life with my 10 yr old son...words cannot express my thankfulness! To suffer cronic pain is the most intese pain ever. Just be very careful with taking this medication, it is very strong to someone that is not use to Class II narcotics.

It has worked well. I am trying to wean myself off of it. I began with 20 mg, then 15, now 10. It has helped but is difficult to stop takng. My back surgeries were a year ago .. Sept. 23, 2009 and Oct. 1, 2009.

I have suffered severe chronic pain for over a decade after an unsuccessful back surgery to fuse a ruptured disc. This was MAJOR surgery, as they had to "enter" from the front, and bypass all my vital organs, i.e, my Aorta, Vena Cava, etc., in order to approach the inward facing side of my vertabrae. After months of intensive physical therapy, for I could not even walk for almost 2 mont ... Show Full Comment

I have suffered severe chronic pain for over a decade after an unsuccessful back surgery to fuse a ruptured disc. This was MAJOR surgery, as they had to "enter" from the front, and bypass all my vital organs, i.e, my Aorta, Vena Cava, etc., in order to approach the inward facing side of my vertabrae. After months of intensive physical therapy, for I could not even walk for almost 2 months after the surgery(which I was used to already, so...), but to this day, I still have severe attacks of sciatica, and lumbar pain, that radiates across my hip, and down my left leg, like a knife. After numerous meds, Oxymorhone has been my life savior. it is essentilly in the Dilaudid class, though slightly more potent. It IS one of, if not THE strongest painkiller known. Be VERY careful the first week, for it will knock you on your bottom the first few days, until you get used to it. I speak for those who have not "graduated" into the Morphine, Scheadule II Narcotics:Methadone, Morphine, Percodan/cet, Demerol, Kadian, MS Contin, OxyContin, OxyFast, OxyIR, etc.
