Switching from oxycodone to OxyContin

Long story short I am an addict I was using heroin for a long time until I caught an infection in my spine from iv drug use and got really sick. Due to multiple surgeries I am now prescribed oxycodone 20mg . I haven?t used heroin in months but as soon as i was hospitalized I was in a dilaudid pump then switched to Oral oxys... so I?ve been taking the oxycodone for about 4 months now and like i said I?m an addict so of course I wanna feel better at times so I take more. Snorting it does absolutely nothing for me not even a rush. Taking it orally in higher doses I do feel something. Well now my doctor wants to switch me to OxyContin and I?m not sure since I?ve only taking OCs not the OPs and just need opinions on 1) if switching will actually help with the pain I?m having and 2) can it get me high if I wanna use it. I don?t need stories telling me I?m going down a dark road lol because Im pretty sure I already knew that when shooting dope caused my spine to be fucked up for the rest of my life... plus I?ve been doing drugs for 13 years and I?m only 26. So I get it. I really am just trying to find the right meds to actually help with the pain. I don?t know what else to do ...
