Suggest Treatment For Persistent Back And Leg Pain While On Oxycodone

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
I would recommend not seeking additional opioids, because you are already exhibiting significant opioid-induced hyperalgesia. This is a phenomenon that occurs when you are on opioids much longer than the few days to weeks they are meant to be used for. The body develops tolerance and ultimately pain increases as a direct result of chronic opioid use. I strongly recommend avoiding opioids, and instead working in regular intensive physical therapy long-term to better manage your pain.
