Is oxycodone help to reduce back pain?
Patient: yes.I am taking morphine sulf 30 mg. twice a day for horrible back pain but it does not last long before the pain comes back,my doctor wants to change my medicine to oxycodone I am not sure about this because I do not want to take something that will make me tired or feel like I am not quite with it but I do want something that will help with the pain over a longer period of time do you think that oxycondone is a good choice?\ Doctor: HiThank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Oxycodone is better than morphine for long term management of pain. Side effects are also lesser compare to morphine. So you can follow your doctor's advise for changing to Oxycodone. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries. Thanks
