Magnum is confused

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 epidural shot in my back for the severe back pain I'm having due to this infamous treatment. Well, here's the shocker...

Seems that now, the Oxycontin is fine but not the epidural shot in my back! What can I say? Sometimes I question the decision making and opinions between doctors' treatment regiments.
According to the doctor, Oxycontin is the same as Percoset. The only difference in the formula is the ending of the word, the three letters "cet". This is an abbreviation for Acetaminophen. Got it? I can't have Percoset, but I can have Oxycontin.

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...

I remain confused,

Magnum
