Sciatica Pain Out Of Control
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I've been taking oxycodone 5 and tramadol 50 alternately for very many years, every three to four hours recent years. I'm getting too miserable and too dysfunctional lately, so tried oxymorphone 10er instead (as prescribed) but it actually made the sciatica pain even much worse (due in part to the extreme constipating effect), so had to quit that. Morphine and demerol never worked on pain for me either, having lesser but similar bad effects. I'm back to the oxycodone and tramadol for what little help they can provide. Age 65, average build, trying to stay active. Need ideas for better pain management.

An additional note: the oxymorphone er actually produced symptoms like opioid withdrawal, despite increased accompanying dosage with oxycodone trying to get relief. I wonder if anyone else has had such experience?
Thanks. I will ask about patches in a couple of days when I see the PA again. In the meantime they increased my regular med a little. Glad to hear you've found something that works.
First I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I also have nerve pain and I can completely relate.
Second, has your doctor ever recommend pain patches for constant pain management and something for break threw pain? I was on Oxy and Percocet for 3 years and I recently changed to Fentayal Pain Patches. Best thing I have ever done.
Good luck! I pray you will find the meds that work well for you.
