Narcotic sensitive with oxycodone when I took it. My feet and ankles puffed up like elephant stumps, severe constipation, itching and totally killed a good sex drive. Did little for pain and all it really did was give me a rush for an hour or so. No, not worth it to me!
That's why I don't get fused. Afraid the ones above and below will go out. Then what more fusion?
I was one of fastest kids in school (set a record in the shuttle run) and did work out 6 days a week for a few decades but no sports, just recreational stuff. I'm 55 now and blame a lot of my pain on being sedentary and then overdoing something like lifting a heavy object which I think could have been prevented by being more active.
That's why my parents moved to Arizona and this was in the 70's. Absolutely true it helps big time.
It was RLS (restless leg syndrome) driving me bats when I quit oxycodone and that lasted for about a week. After 4 days and your actually starting to see the clearing withdrawal wise. Actually I think Aleve (naproxen sodium) works better than 10 mg oxycodone. My oxycodone had no liver rotting tylenol in it. Aleve works for 12 hours and also can do wonders for joints. I took 4 a day for a week initially, they actually say 3 a day is the max dosage but it did wonders for me.
Thanks amannamedtruth. I had ordered a top-of-the-line Teeter hang ups that was still new in the box and sold it brand new unopened box. Reason was I just laid on my back for an hour or so each day and my lower back pain was gone within a week by the time my Teeter hang ups arrived. I figured gravity did just about the same thing laying flat on my back instead of like being grandpa on the Munsters hanging upside down.

On another note Aleve is an NSAID and can be hard on your stomach especially if it's sensitive. I used to have serious stomach problems and took Prilosec for a year (yes docs advice) and couldn't get off that stuff because most people will relapse from taking it long term (6 months or more). Prilosec can seriously mess with your mind and body if you take it long term and I highly advise not to listen to anyone suggesting that! Zantac 150 (rantidine) is way way better and "stomach withdrawals" only last a few days vs. months or even years with Prilosec or any other type of ppi class acid reducer that's taken for a while. If you do take Prilosec, NEVER take it more than 14 days as suggested on label!
And those ppis (proton pump inhibitors) stomach acid reducers which are the strongest like Prilosec (generic omeprazole) can be just as bad as the NSAIDs themselves. Both mentally and physically very stressful on the body as well long term. Even people tested with no stomach problems who took them for a few months had a rebound effect (excess stomach acid) when stopped. The body still makes a chemical that tries to make up for less acid in the stomach for at least a few months after stopping. All those extra "proton pumps" start making stomach acid within a week of stopping. Zantac (rantidine) has a rebound effect that only lasts a few days, not months.
