Doctors claim oxycodone exacerbates pain but nothing else helps

I have just begun taking Suboxone and am currently titrating up to a dose that I can both tolerate and will help my pain.
Suboxone is actually a medication used to get people off opioids without experiencing withdrawal, but is used off-label for pain control. It works with some patients.
I’m hoping the Suboxone will help me. So far I am taking just a small piece of a pill three times a day, but I should be taking a stronger dose soon.
I am hopeful that the Suboxone will help my pain.
I suffer with extreme lower back and leg pain and have for many years.
Hydromorphone helped for a while but I developed a tolerance to it and it stopped working.
50 mcg of Fentanyl does nothing.
Gabapentin helps the neuropathy in my feet a bit.
I will keep you posted.

Did they suggest you take Suboxone for your pain? or are they simply taking you off the pain meds with it? I also now have a Fentanyl patch 50 mcg, it helped at first but not anymore.
Please let me know how the Suboxone works, and is your pain Dr. prescribing it? Here in California I have learned that the Paid Dr.s don't use Suboxone, only certain Dr.s who get people off of opiods. I would have loved to stay on Suboxone...I was taking 2 sublingual strips per day (my Primary Dr. prescribed it) which I think is the maximum.
