You might consider looking into buprenorphine for your chronic pain. I too was on Percocet for about 17 years following back surgery. But due to the acetaminophen in the medication I was concerned about my liver. I first switched to long acting morphine sulfate pills following the Percocet but they didn’t tamp my pain sufficiently. I went to a rehabilitation/pain doc who prescribed buprenorphine patches. The drug in pill and film form is used in addiction medicine while the patch is used to treat chronic pain 24/7.

I can vouch for the Ease and efficacy of the (film) stuff.
I tried the patch but was dissatisfied that it left no options for dosage timing. Patch was either off or on.
Film however is starting to be effective for me. Rx'd by pain management For chronic pain control. So yes.

Several have suggested this. My pain management doctor did not think this would be a good option for me but I will ask him again.
