Question:
Answers:
I would recommend that you make an appointment to be seen by a pain management specialist. Check your local yellow pages, and if you cannot find one there, call the hospital helpdesk and they will help you find a pain specialist.
A pain management specialist will help you with a plan to weak off the Oxycontin. They may teach you other ways of managing your pain. In addition, there are other medications that you could take temporarily while learning to manage your pain.
Good luck. I've been through this and now how rough it is.
