How many times you use Pain-killers to dominate Pain...  

Yes, i agree with you..I hardly takes painkillers.. Thanks for your comment.

I agree that is quite ashame the amount of people out there that misuse their pain medications and even worse obtain them and use them incorrectly, especially OxyCotin. I have very mixed feelings about pain medication. I, unfortunately, am on quite a few medications, including oxycontin, norco, neurontin, valium, and baclofen. The sad thing with pain meds is that your body adjusts very quickly to the dosages. Unless it is just me! For me, personally, when I first started taking oxycontin, it helped immensely for about about a month, however, now it just takes the edge of my pain, and that is including every else I am on. I think that is one of the scary parts of pain pills. Your body adjusts or becomes tolerant, and then it takes higher doses to help. (I am one of those people that are actually quite tolerant to pain medications) Then you are just stuck in a horrible circle. I started to wean off of it, and it is extremely difficult. I don't feel that I am addicted to it. I don't feel that I HAVE to have it, but I will admit the physical components do suck. I do get sick to my stomach if I go past the time I am supposed to take it, and weaning down to three pills a day from 6, left me with hot flashes and irritability. If you have a choice, I would personally only resort to the oxycontin if it is absolutely necessary. I am unfortunately one of those people that if I didn't have the pain medications, I would not be able to function, and even with, I still struggle with day to day tasks. I have a horrible back, and am still recuperating from my second back surgery, a two-level fusion with some bone spurs removed at another level. But, I am determined to get off the oxycontin, because it is not good for you, and I know the longer you are on it the more difficult I think it becomes to get off of it. Martyjay09, I do agree with you that this is a multi billion industry and it is the pharmaceutical companies that profit. We live in a society that believes each time we go to the doctor with an ailment we want a "pill" to fix it. Sadly, I do think doctors tend to over prescribe medications, and I am sure the physicians probably get nice kick backs from promoting the latest "remedies."
