Can Dosage Of 20mg Oxycodone Be Increased For Pain Management?
i am currently taking oxycodone 5/325 for pain management for arthitis of the hip. currently i am taking 20 mg per day. my pain level has dramatically increased and i am considering hip replacement surgery. now 50 years old i am trying to avoid surgery. is 20 mg per day a normal dosage? or should i continue with pain management by increasing dosage. i would like to postpone surgery as long as possible
