pain
"I suffered burst fractures, nerve damage, spinal cord damage, due to a bad car accident in September '09. Not only has MS Contin worked well, it's relatively inexpensive compared to other extended release medications. People talk about how great the Fentanyl patch is for chronic, severe pain. But you can't control the amount of medicine entering your system, it's unpredictable, certain brands are being recalled because of defective pouches. Plain old morphine. It's been around forever and nothing works as well. The only problem is I've grown tolerant and needed 2 increases in the past year. I guess that will happen with any medication. With my latest increase (100mg 4X daily) I've been able to cut down on the oxycodone by half!"
