I know there are
people out there that are worse than me
but I cant help but feel real depressed.
I wake in pain everyday and never get a
good nights sleep. I am on ultram and
recently percocet for the neck problem.
Does anyone know of a drug that would help
me wake up pain free and live a normal
life???? I am always in discomfort and it
effects my attitude to my wife and kids
and anyone in my path.. Im not real mean
but I do and can snap and say stuff I dont
mean.. My family went through so much
when I had the laminectomy then the 360
fusion, I dont know if I or my family can
go through something like that again...
Oh and for those of you thinking about a
fusion I am glad I did it I mean I still
have pain but its different but the
recovery was something I never want to
experiance again, the pain after surgery
was like nothing I have ever felt and thje
doctor made it sound alot mellower than it
truly was I guess he didnt want to scare
me... Well how do I deal with
this???????????????? Please help...

Ultram is good, but not the best. I was
on it before. I was on vicodin, and
others as well. I found the the best
medicine for me was oxycontin every 8hrs.
It is a 8-12hr medicine. It wore off
after 8/9hrs for me so I began taking it
every 8 hours instead of twice a day. I
just started the 3-a-day deal and it's
amazing how well I sleep. I wake up with
very little pain and mellows out mostly
about 30min-1hr after my first dose. My
pain is often in the 8-10 range, and this
medicine gets me down to a 2 on occasion,
and afterages about a 4 which is rare for
me and very tolerable.
