Hi all. For all of you that have had a bad injury or experienced chronic pain in the past, What meds have you been prescribed? and what have you found most effective?
Codeine and tramadol are obviously the most common ones, but i'm wondering about the less common....I've had a painful tear of the lateral meniscus in my knee and have been seeing my gp for pain management for a few months. I've also had an opiate addiction when i was younger. so i've personally used quite a few opiates
When it comes to strong pain relief i've noticed personally and from people i know that Oxycodone is prescribed 90% of the time, Endone or Oxycontin in various strengths... So what other opiates do doctors prescribe?
I've been given Buprenorphine - Norsepan patches which wasn't effective....
and have even once used Dihydrocodeine - Rikodeine for pain relief!
Hydrocodone - Vicodin.... we don't get this in Australia?
Hydromorphone - Jurnista ER - apparently gp's prescribe this here?
Oxymorphone - Opana ? from what i've read we don't get this
Fentanyl - has anyone had this prescribed for chronic or breakthrough pain?
