Brief Answer:
Side effect of increasing the dose

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but unfourtanetly OxyContin is well known to cause muscle pain and cramps that are dose dependent.. that is why this side effect became more prominent on increasing the dose.. I hope I answered your question.. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
