Be CAREFUL of OIH-
Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia

It’s where wires get switched and opioids make pain 100x worse not better.

7 weeks on hydrocodone before it happened to me. Now I would set myself on fire before risking that agony again

Ouch! I'll count myself lucky because in ten years of Oxy I've not experienced OIH.

That is very interesting.
I have a ruptured disc and scoliosis. My pain medication is Hydrocodone, taken as needed or 3 times daily. It has given me relief, sleeping and normal daytime activities, for more than 10 years problem free. That only proves there is no one answer for everyone.
