I live with daily severe chronic pain & am disabled, Have been on so many different prescribed meds in the past 14 yrs, Fentanyl patches, Kadian, Ms-Contin, Morphine, Oxy-contin, Oxy-Codone, NSAID’s, Tramadol, Codiene , Vicodin, Demerol, Neurontin to name a few. For one reason or another I did not like the previous meds & discontinued them after several months.
I am now wanting to live again instead of just survive

Since I stopped Pain Mgt. I am in bed all the time in terrible pain, go out only to doctor appts & grocery store It’s been 7 yrs now and am willing to go back on new Pain Mgt meds. I would love to be able to walk my dogs again.

I have been taking Codiene Sulfate 60 mg 2 tabs @ 4 hrs 12 tabs daily as prescribed & Tramadol 50mg 2 tabs @ 4 hrs 12 tabs daily as prescribed. for 4 yrs. No other meds by my choice.
I can’t take NSAID’s (Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Celebrex, Vioxx) or Tylenol anymore due to damage from taking them in the past.

A doctor told me about OPANA ER (extended release), Said it is a wonderful drug that would be very beneficial to me in combination with the Codiene Sulfate for break through pain. & My Insurance covers it with a co-pay.

Has anyone been prescribed Opana ER? At What doses? How did it work for you? Is there a rapid tolerance? Any info is most welcomed. or if you know of another prescription drug that would help me.
My pain type is very similiar to a labor contraction.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I went to the Emergency Room a couple of days ago because the pain was so excrutiating, however the doctor said that the cyst wasn’t worth lancing. So she gave me Sulfameth and some Tramadol to help with the pain. I’ve been taking the meds for 3 days already and the cyst is still there, and it hurts, however I can sit down now. I want to know should I just take the rest of the meds, or should I just request to get lanced (even though she said it wasn’t necessary) by a different doctor.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I am a chronic pain patient with severe chronic abdominal pain from a messed up gastric bypass. Perscribed 6 tramadol a day by my pain specialist. I take 2 tramadol with 3 tylenol every 4-6 hrs. I have been on tramadol for a year. I know tramadol is bad for pregnancy. Since i am pregnant what can be given to chronic pain patients that have to go off thier meds? I know i have to gradually go off the tramadol cause of the withdrawl problem but what am i supposed to do for my severe chronic pain that i have? HELP????????
