~Pain Medication~What Do You Use For Extreme Pain??
Percocets are just not cutting it for the big guy and he will have to start taking something stronger for pain and for break-thru pain. He has tried Oxycotin but did not like how it made him feel. I think maybe he will have to try it again since the pain was never this terrible. Right now he is trying Temador but he is supposed to discontinue the Percocets altogether.
Thoughts or suggestions?? Might be too soon but he feels they are not working alone!
He will have to manage pain before even doing the Gamma Knife again and that time is coming up very very soon. Help!!>>Believe51
Temadar manages how your brain processes pain BUT it is used "TO STOP THE GROWTH OF CANCER CELLS WITHIN THE BRAIN" (Quote).....yeahaa.....be patient Mighty Oak, help is on the way all around My Love!
