BTW they gave me oxy when I had arthroscopic knee surgery and when I had 2 separate perianal fistula surgeries. Never took them. I brought back 4 bottles of oxy pills to my pharmacy for proper disposable.
I have arthritis from my head to my toes and have mid back pain everyday. They gave me Tramadol a few years ago. never took one. Tylenol and tolerance. I'm terrified of oxy, I have seen what it did to a guy at work. Watch Dopesick on Hulu......what a bunch of azzhats.

I'm in the same boat. last spine surgery I had a fentanyl pump. Did nothing and pushed hydromorphone every few hours. What a **** show.
IMHO the opiates don't take away the pain. They just get you plastered with euphoria; You feel the pain but don't care about the pain because you feel so goooooood....
