@joy75 I can't imagine why ANYONE would not be welcome on this website. I am angered, frustrated, and just generally perplexed by all these stories of people being in severe, chronic pain not being able to get appropriate scripts for their pain. The story of the 96.5 year old gentleman who could not get any narcotic pain pils so he could live out his few remaining days in somewhat of a comfortable state really sent me over the edge.
It's a shame that the ER doc could not give you larger, refillable scripts for oxycodone. I know that everyone so scared these days of narcotic pain pills. Stories of people turning into addicts from overuse filled the airways a few years ago. These people were the exception, not the rule. I took oxycodone for a month or so after my back surgery back in 2017. It was very effective at limiting my pain. But, gee, golly whiz! I didn't become an addict. I am now also experiencing severe chronic pain and cannot convince my pain management doc to put me back on it. I truly hope you can find an empatheic doc who can help you find an answer to your pain.
