Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain While On Oxycodone
husband has been on oxycodone 10 mg every 4-6 hrs for back pain and 40 mg prednisone for three days. For the past 24 hrs seems to have on and off trouble speaking. Hands have been shaking for a while, doctor said due to severe pain and oxy most likely. Pain seems to be getting better but I am worried about speech problem.

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the severe pain with difficulty in speaking may be indicative of central nervous system lesion, over dose of oxycodone or others.
Rather than searching for online support, it is matter of emergency consultation and I would strongly recommend you to call 911 for further assistance.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
