I'm a 72 year old male that was shot in the back in the army in 1956 which left me with nerve damage which irratates a set of nerves that run up the spine and sends a message to my brain that I don't need my legs and arms. I've been on Oxycontin 60mg for about 5 years and use use Hydrocodone apap 7.5-500 for break over pain (3) as needed. I have sleep apnea, PLMD and with the medication I am stage 2 diabetic. I live my life in a electric wheel chair and have to sleep in a hospital bed.

I am a 48 yearold female with lupus and DDD and facet arthritis in my back . I have numerous issues with pain in other parts of my body. I started oxycotin 2 months ago after being on percocet on and off for a couple years. My problem is that oxycotin does not make me drowsy which is great during the day but not at night I wake up every 2 hours.

I'm a 64 y/o female who has led a life full of physical damages from my homocidal mother and my older brothers and eventually by every male I came into contact wtih. My father beaat me prior to sexing my mother as she was tired of being beaten and he seemed to require it. That was a rape or 2 every week at least. Doctors have cut me up this way and that and whats left hurts a lot. My back already ached from so many bare-back lashings with my fathers belt and buckle which cut and tore my flesh and broke and bruised my bones. I fell back onto a hard wood wall and brroke my back. I've known every pain there is almost and its been the oxycodone that makes it possible to actually live a life. As limited as that is - it is 100% more freedom than I have without it. Without it I just stop and die - the pain is overwhelming.
