Isn't that the truth,, I have been prescribed percoset ever since my cancer dx , several surgeries and 18 months of chemo from hell.... my primary keeps me on it,, she understands the damage and pain to my bones and my spine a lot thanks to poison. when I was just in the hospital with my blockage, the discharge Dr I don;t even know scratches off the oxycodone from my list and writes stop taking, I thought who are you,, I have a primary.. I tossed those papers and I won;t go back to that shlock hospital.. Find yourself a good DR,, I know it is hard, try lidocaine patches they do help my back a little. but I will take it!!!
