Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Oxycodone is better than morphine for long term management of pain. Side effects are also lesser compare to morphine. So you can follow your doctor's advise for changing to Oxycodone. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
