After going all round the houses visiting specialists and doctors, the only thing that is left for me is pain relief. So I'm taking a pretty hefty dose of oxycodone, 60 mg per day.

I take two kinds - long-lasting and short-acting. The long-lasting 2 x a day 20 mg and then the short-acting (when needed) 5 mg. Work brilliantly.

After numerous operations I need to take long and short acting oxycodone. I've been on it for 2 years now and I just need to keep taking more and more. So addictive (spent a week trying to come off it in the hospital). So, don't take it for more than 2 weeks.
