Pain control for bone mets

I am just wondering what people do? Last Tuesday i was put on Targin (read Oxycontin) 10mg twice a day and panadol osteo 3-4 times a day. I still have alot of discomfort but am not convinced it is just the mets. I was reading last night on the net and some people were saying the oxycintin didn't help them but Ibruprofen did etc etc
So what do all you girls take?
