Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
You have not mentioned about your age and the duration of your symptoms. The treatment of acute pain is different from that of chronic pain.
Rather than simply using oxycodone for symptomatic supression of pain, the cause for your bad back pain and neck pain is to be thoroughly investigated and evaluated. And thus the identified cause has to be treated accordingly.
So, I personally feel that there is no rationale in simply using pain killer medications without knowing the underlying pathology.
I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed workup and further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day

Hi there
According to me if you do have such severe pain and have suffered from plantar fascitis in the past I would suggest that you find the cause of the disease and get that treated rather than just going for stronger painkillers .
I would suggest :
A complete arthritis panel blood test
Xray of the painful parts
Treatment :
Postural training and precautions as advised by a physiotherapist
Hot fomenting the painful area
Medications as advised by the orthopedician .
Short course stetoid csn help....but under strict supervision of an expert clinician .
I hope my advice has helped .
Good luck
