Hi all. I'm looking for some help in trying to reduce my pain meds mostly from knee replacement but also from over pain related to stiffness. I'm taking 30 mg of oxicotin 2x a day. But it make me feel horrible at the same time it relieves my pain.

I would suggest Gabapentin aka. Neurontin. Works great for nerve pain of all sorts. Non narcotic or habit forming. May make you sleepy. Best to you.

Hi there,

you say your pain is from knee surgery & from stiffness which I assume is PD related. If you could give us some basic information it might make helping easier. Your age & gender, how long you have been dxd & the PD meds you take would be a good starting point.

My doc was just telling me oxycodone is not as effective for pain as some other types of meds: neurontin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and one she just prescribed for me: noratriptilene.

The pain really gets old, I know that for sure. I'm hoping this new medication will help.

Not what you're looking for?
