Being Under prescribed ain Meds

I have DDD and mild spinal stenosis along with a lot of other imperfections of the spine. It has affected NY back so much I haven't been able to hold down a job where U have to stand or do physical work since age 30. I am 47 now and now a nerve in my spine is impinged and causing me horrific knee and foot pain. I wajecup in pain in the middle of sleep. I'm on 5mgs 3x's a day and oxymorphone 2x's a day. It help about 25 to 30%. This is very inhumane. Because if the drug addicts I have to suffer and its made me very very angry. Who give's then the right to throw a net over all pain patients?! This us very very EVIL. I'm sure this is whats going on with most legitimate pain patuentsxalso. We need to organize and act because this has gone too far. I have been on pain meds for ,5 tears and have NEVER gotten high on then. Imvactually very very afraid if them. But when you have no life because at 47 your pain is too high to maintain a job it needs to be addressed. All I hear is about how many abuse bit. Why not talk about people who just take it for pain relief?! I cab't belie be how bad a country we have become. This EVIL DEA let them be in pain like us and ve

I have experienced the same problem I am a retired nurse with DDD and fibromyalgia. I started pain management about 2 months ago and all that has been prescribed is Lidocaine injections which don't work. I, even with my experience ss a nurse, am afraid to ask for meds sibce I don't want to sound drug seeking.  It's horrible. I can't work and my quality of life is not great. I totally understand what your going through.  Plz message me if u have any ideas.

Also 15mg's if oxymorphone ER. Morphine 39mgs ER didn't do a Dan think. The oxymorphone us better but far from great. The ixycidibe doesn't work at 5mgs. No I gave not built up a tolerance because I only take the oxycidibe when I need it. What U do is rake 5nfs if oxycodone and 3 or 4 hours later take another tablet. I never double the dose. I think 10mgs is the minimum I should be prescribed. Are any if you in the sane situation as I am. I'm very angry about this!!!
