Any advice for tapering off oxycodone and/or OxyContin?
I know I should get my doctor’s plan, any other helpful advice would be appreciated. I’m tired of taking these and want to see if I can find other ways to cope with my pain. Thanks!

Hello, @sonnys , I’m so sorry that you have been dealing with the effects of Parsonage Turner Syndrome (PTS) for 29 years. I can certainly sympathize with you. I was diagnosed with atypical PTS a little over 4 years ago. It affects my right arm and both hands. The pain in my right hand is much worse than in my left hand.
I wear compression gloves and take pregabalin (Lyrica) to help relieve the pain. They both help some, but I still am left with a lot of pain.
I’m glad you found this group. There is also a Parsonage Turner Group on Facebook in which you might be interested. I joined Facebook just so I could join this group. It has been very informative and helpful to read about others who also have this condition.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments. I hope you will find some relief to your pain.
