chronic pain
"I am 68. I have pain in my back and legs every day which is worsened by standing or walking, so I sit almost all the time in my recliner.  I go to a pain clinic and have tried Morphine, Fentanyl, and Dilaudid.  None of these helped. In fact, at higher dosages they actually made the pain unbearable.  Percocet is the only med that works for me, and when I first took it I felt like it was a miracle.  I am prescribed Percocet 5x a day, Tizadine for spasms and Tramadol for breakthrough pain.  I can actually garden outside again and have once again become active.  I jjust hope I don't develop a tolerance because the doctor said this is as high as I can go, and I don't know where else I could turn.  Percocet has truly given me my life back!"
