I take Xtampza 9 mg in the morning and at bedtime along with my 15 mg of oxycodone. I was on OxyContin until our government forced Purdue Pharma into bankruptcy. The Xtampza does not work, the OxyContin did. I have had a gazillion rounds of PT, and injections which lasted 2 months, then I had to wait 6 months before my next shot. I’m borderline diabetic so steroids weren’t helping that. If I take 10 mg of oxycodone at one time, I am very dizzy and off balance like a drunk, can’t drive (I live alone). I hear you loud and clear about pain. Can’t stand more than 5 minutes without pain, can’t walk more than two houses down because of pain,, can’t bend to pick things up (use a grabber). This has been going on 8 years and basically I am a shut-in. Moved to a 55+ community and haven’t met anyone or gone to activities because of my back, knee and hip issues. Then at night, the spasms set in and I have to take Baclofen. I am tired of living like this (I’m sure you can relate) and believe me a pain pump was my last ditch choice (REFUSE spinal cord stimulator though my docs tried to talk me into it). I have rods, struts, bars and am fused from L2 to S1.
