Fibromyalgia -- Need help on how to handle severe pain

I’m an 89year old KWV with 24/7 pain and adding insult to injury I have very bad RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome).
I take a number of medications which do help somewhat, but I feel in excess of what is healthy. For years now I have pursued OxyContin to no avail. From my experience after major surgery OxyContin just one tablet at bedtime allowed me to sleep the night through with no side effects in the morning.
Now, all I hear is it’s additive, so it is, but at 89 give me a break.
All well who ever said life was going to be easy.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time getting a medication that clearly helps you. If you happen to be in Oregon, I know many prescribers who work with patients with chronic pain.
