Dear Tadpole,
Has your Doctor talked to you about spinal cord stimulation?  You may want to ask him/her if it is a treatment option for you.  I wish you all the best.

I have been on both MsContin (currently taking as long acting medication & oxycodone for breakthrough pain) and fentanyl... both work well... for me (everyone is different) the MsContin works best along side the oxycodone (immediate release). I am a chronic pain patient now for 13 years and I am 32 years old and I believe if you hurting you must consider all your options and go with the one that best manages your pain so that your quality of life improves. With the tablets you can always take a lower dose if your pain is under control and with the patch you can take it off but you cannot really take less without the possibility of causing more harm than good... thats just my 2 cents worth... good luck and I hope my point of view helps...
