I have had 2 brain surgeries due to avm's. Now I have had post operative nerve damage on and in that area. It is HORRIBLE. Anyway, I take oxycodone 10 mgs for my pain. I am also on lyrica since august, which has reduced my pain dramatically. Now I am having pain in my head region again, and they are trying to discover why. What I am asking is what is better and stronger for my pain, oxycodone 10 mgs. or dilaudid 2 mgs which is stronger?? Although nothing really helps, but I can't deal and live with this pain. PAIN HURTS, and especially NERVE pain....in my head....help m if you can. I have met MANY Dr.s but only few will understand o believe me. what the heck with the medical world. I think all doctors should be taught a class in empathy and people understanding. FOR REAL I have met some doozies
