Hello,
Im a little worried here.
I fell off the stairs at home last month and got a broken rib.
According to the doctors theres nothing I can do but to wait a couple of months as ribs usually heal on their own.
The pain is very bad though and they prescribed me oxycontin ER which I've been taking almost every night before bed for the last 5 weeks.
The dose they suggested is 10 to 15mg a day and I've never had more than that.
I don't think my body has developed any tolerance yet (15mg works great and I can sleep OK) but the pain still very bad if I don't take a pill at night.
If I keep taking the same dose 3 or 4 times a week until my ribs are healed (hopefully next month) am I facing a big risk for withdrawal symptoms when I stop?
Thanks for your help.
