On Roxicodone And Oxycodone. Loose Sleep Because Of Pain From Hip Replacement. Other Medications To Relieve Pain?
HELLO MYSELF PERSONALLY AM ON ROXICODONE 30MG (120/MTH) & 60 OXYCODON E (12 HR TIME RELEASE) & 30 (1MG) XANAX'S PER MONTH & I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR APPROXIMATLY 41/2 YRS. I WAS WONDERING WHAT OTHER MEDICATION COULD BE PERSCRIBED TO HELP ME? ALSO I AM A SEIZURE PT, I ALSO LOOSE SLEEP BECAUSE OF MY PAIN FROM A HIP REPLACEMENT (DEPUY IMPLANT) WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED BY JOHNSON & JOHNSON,
Hi, as you are a patient with hip replace ment surgery, and patient of seizures, the centrally acting analgesics may trigger the seizures. I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and one injection every week and NSAIDS, for pain relief. Thank you.
As you have been using potent pain killer medications for the past 4 1/2 years, you could have suffered most of their side effects. I personally think that there is no logic or meaning in simply using the pain killer medicines without evaluating the cause for your pain.
I suppose it could be the "Metal on Metal" hip replacement (DePuy) which you have underwent and the company has withdrawn it from the market owing to lot of complications seen with that implant.
So, I suggest you to undergo a detailed workup to establish the cause of your pain.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
