Doctors claim oxycodone exacerbates pain but nothing else helps

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.

Actually, it was me who suggested it....it is so very much easier , and my primary Dr. could prescribe it. Supposedly less trouble with Tolerance, addiction, etc. and I found it to be a good fit until my pain got dramatically worse after I slipped on the ice and fell, I broke my wrist causing more trouble with my DDD to the point I could not get out of bed. Insurance may not cover it as apparently it's now considered "off lable" use but it's not that expensive and worth it if you can avoid needing the opiods that "society" doesn't want anyone to have, no matter how legitimate your pain.
I will be taking the full dose of four pills a day by the end of next week.
You should be off opioids before starting Suboxone but I’m still using 50 mcg of Fentanyl.
I have cut down the hydromorphone and will be finished with it this weekend.
Suboxone is a controlled medication so I have to sign for it.
It may not be available everywhere.
So far I’m not experiencing any pain relief, but I’m hopeful.
I will keep you posted.

Don’t know if you are talking about subono whatever it is, but there is nothing worse than constant pain.
