I Have A Cyst On My Pituatary Gland Causes Constant Head Pain And Some Days Score Of
(Newest replies first)

Headaches as well as herniated degenerating Lspine also the nerve pain in legs associated wIth the back problems. I was prescribed 30 mg ER 1every 12 hours. I am also rx d Norco 10/325 up to 3 /day one breakthrough, they barely help. Anyway I have been taking the MSCONTIN about every 8 hours.I have just started working WITH a PM Dr. HE offers .e the MSCONTIN at times when I used to ask for more buffoon cuz I was taking 4 perc 10 s and 4 Norco s a day for years. H E HAS increased my dose to 60 , I wonder if the 3 60 mg. Dose every 8 hours seem rationale, given my dx s....and my dr. Is understanding ,so far I tell him when I am oh early and ha e adjusted my dose, he tells me I shouldn't Be doing it, but we are working at a comfortable dose.

Version thanks for replying. Cyst on pituitary gland just causes CONSTANT facial eye and head pain. Actually with injections(facet) chiropractic care my back pain with 60mg MS Contin has at50% time pain rating 4-5, so I am happy about that. He increased me for 1 week to where I was at 60 mg every 8 hours. I Told him straightforward I'm out and I don't wanna go through withdrawals, so I'm yesterday he wrote for the normal 60 mg twice a day going to try and stick with it, so it doesn't look as if I have no courtesy or am taking advantage. You are so correct when you say most won't do it. I am blessed. I don't think he believes in pain contracts, sometimes it spells disaster and failure. There will be situations where I may have vomited so much can't keep meds down and my cyst causes nausea accompanied with vomiting and headache, sometimes I get dehydrated and have no choice but to go get an Iv for pain meds, and the fluids that they dehydrate with. So I think he knows that at some point I might have to get meds from DR, but I would. Refuse to take home a script and fill it. I would take it let him know I hey I have this and didn't fill it....that hasn't happened since I've been treated by my new PM. I started out with 15 mg MSCONTIN 2 months ago, so I think I should slow down so if in another few months I do need to increase that I don't hit the max dose of 200 mg in 4 short months. SO I'll let you know if I am able to stick to this dose and make it til the 11 th or 12th ,Feb....I may be 5 days short, so far I think we are working together for a dose that he feels comfortable writing. No u/a s either, but docs can tell an abuser, most of the time. If I went in there nodding slurred speech or needlemarks on my ,arms I wouldn't have the respect I have from this doc...Since Dec. 17 2012 I haven't felt so good in my lower back since before my accident, and that gives me hope to return to work one day. I'm on full disability now, but the cyst can be removed eventually,,so I have hope Thanking God as I trot along!!!!the Verwon again. I've read many of your posts so kinda cool you gave me your opinion....

Since MS Contin is usually only given twice a day, every 12 hours, but you have some pretty severe conditions, I don't think you can really complain about it being prescribed every 8 hours.

There aren't many doctors that would be willing to do that.

Learn more Morphine details here.

It contains Morphine as the active ingredient, which is a potent and effective narcotic analgesic.

How well is the new dosage helping?
