I am on 10mg Opana-ER 2x a day too. I didn't notice too much from it in 3 weeks. I told my pain mgmt doctor this last Wednesday when I was about to get SI and Facet Injections. He told me to wait a little to see what happens after this. Well, my right calf pain has gotten better and I will feel my back hurt through out the day. This is my 8th week of post-op, so I am sure I am not heeled all the way. He also told me no more than 3 7.5/750 hydrocodones a day for breakthrough pain. I haven't been taken them that often. Once a day usually. I am off Neurontin and on now on 60mg of Cymbalta for depression that I have gotten from all the pain and my wife leaving on the 28th. This back thing really sucked! So I am not sure which one of these medicines has been helping me. I am also taken 15mg Temazepam for sleep when needed.
