Due to severe, unrelenting, and always languishing lower back pain, today I went to the pain management doctor because he said to come in after he had a long talk with my liver specialist.
I must admit, I am not only confused, but embarrassed at some advice I gave to others on this forum. But, it was not my fault, so before you bring the cross out, hear me.
As I mentioned earlier, my gastro doctor said absolutely no to this and that. One of the things he absolutely said no to was Oxycontin. One of the things he said yes to was an epiduralExtradural hemorrhage shot in my back for the severe back pain I'm having due to this infamous treatment. Well, here's the shocker...
So, the pain management doctor has prescribed 150 Oxycontin tabs to be taken one every four hours if needed and in cases of extreme, unbearable, inhuman and torturous pain, I can take two.
I'm as shocked about this as one can be. I welcome any and all comments on this most confusing matter...
