Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM
I understand your concern.
OxyContin contains 'oxycodone', which is an opioid pain medication. It is used to treat moderate to severe pain that is expected to last for an extended period of time.
Hence, what doctor has prescribed seems to be right and you should get relief from pain by taking it.
In case it doesn't happen, you need to consult your doctor and use a different composition drug to overcome the pain.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
