I started to go downhill again. Yesterday I coached Diane through 'cracking' my back. It worked! Much better again! (That's $50 saved.)
Just over a week ago I was on 60mg Oxy/day and it wasn't even close to enough. Now I'm down to 3 X 10 with half a norco in between the daytime doses. The Oxy (oxycodone) is 1.5 the strength of Norco/Vicoden (hydrocodone), so that puts me under 40mg.
I don't know if I'll make it all the way off the meds because I still have plenty of other pain generators, but I'm hoping to get all the way off the Oxy, even if that means still being on a small dose of some less powerful meds.
All the best,
Mark
