Hi backwoodsbob,
I take 2 (40 mg) oxycodones per day, plus 4 (15 mg) oxycontins break through pain pills every day. It's always about strength of the active ingredient. Seems like you are not getting a strong enough dose? If you are a drinker of alcohol? It helps to boost the effect. Be careful though, don't mix and match to much.
I am a cancer patient, have lots of aches and pains. The best chronic pain relief I have found is pot. I had not smoked that stuff in almost 25 years, then when the cancer hit, I was reluctant to start using it again for fear of wanting all that other stuff. It did not happen. The pain is very manageable and I told my doctor. The pot also helps with sleep and appetite. Best stuff god ever made. Of course living in California is a bonus too. Peace.
