Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
HELLO DR. I HAVE BEEN ON 10/325 OXYCODONE FOR MY OSTEOPOROSIS, AND FIBROMYALGIA PAIN. FOR THREE YEARS NOW. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A 20MG. BUT i DO NOT WAN MY DOCTOR TO THINK I AM DRUG SEEKING. fACT IS MY PAIN IS NOT BEING MANAGED VERY WELL LATELY. WHAT SHOULD i DO?
Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. Taking Oxycodone is not a treatment of Osteoporosis. It is just for pain relief. I would like to know what treatment you are receiving for osteoporosis. I would advice you to get Serum Calcium (Ionized) , Vitamin D3 levels , Mineral Bone Density. There are many treatment options these days other than calcium and vitamin D3 supplementations like : 1. Biphosphonates 2. Calicitonin Nasal Spray 3. Denusumab - If approved in your country.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
