Pain
"I suffered burst fractures, nerve damage, spinal cord damage, due to a bad car accident in September &#039;09. Not only has MS Contin worked well, it&#039;s relatively inexpensive compared to other extended release medications. People talk about how great the Fentanyl patch is for chronic, severe pain. But you can&#039;t control the amount of medicine entering your system, it&#039;s unpredictable, certain brands are being recalled because of defective pouches. Plain old morphine. It&#039;s been around forever and nothing works as well. The only problem is I&#039;ve grown tolerant and needed 2 increases in the past year. I guess that will happen with any medication. With my latest increase (100mg 4X daily) I&#039;ve been able to cut down on the oxycodone by half!"
