What is the difference between the effectiveness of oxycodone or morphine? I have suffered chronic pain for almost 20 years and am really tired of suffering. Pain specialists are becoming afraid of the DEA. Seems like adults in real pain are getting the shaft. Any ideas?
Hi and thanks for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have be dealing with for so many years. I agree with you that doctors are becoming very afraid prescribing pain medications that most of their patients really need. Patients bear the greatest burden. Morphine and oxycodone are equally effective in managing pain. They are all level 3 pain management Chat Doctor.  What makes one to be prescribed and not the other is based on your doctors preferences. I hope this helps and ad
