ATTN Doctors, Nurses, or PA's ~

I am on Opana (oxymorphone) therapy for a degenerative back disorder. Is it stronger than, or equal to oxycontin? Or what is its equivalent miligram dosage? I take Opana 10mg Extended Release (2x a day), and Opana 5mg (4 to 6 a day) for the inbetween times. Ive been on Oxycontin too, but the withdrawal from that was worse than the oxymorphone when I took a break from it. The oxycontin also didnt seem to work as well. Is that normal? I was surprised to not have any withdrawal pains when I went off the oxymorphone, thank God. Can anyone tell me what my Opana intake is equal to in regards to oxycontin, and if it is in fact a stronger medication. Thank you, and wish me luck. I dont want to have to take oxymorphone for the rest of my life. I will say that the oxymorphone is a Godsend at the moment. It lets me drive, walk almost normally, and live without the pain.. I even do yoga to try and help. But if someone can answer my first question, I thank you.

In december 2005, I fractured my growth plate and all of last year, my arm was still hurting. Now one of my arms is just over an inch longer than the other. I was 13 when I fractured it but now I'm 15. Could it hurt because it's not growing? Thanks. Mary.

I was taking hydromorphone for my herniated disk and stopped because it was no longer helping me. If I decided to retry it,though I'm pretty sure it won't work, how long doe sit stay in my system.I'm in alot of pain and need to do something. I know all the basics, heat, pt, doctor,,done all of it including cortizone shots!! Nothing freakin helps! I went in to therapy the other day and the pt accidentally shocked me harder than I could take. Since then I have been in more severe pain. I need to do something...what pills have any of you tried for SEVERE pain related to a pinched nerve and siatic pain down the leg. I am thinking of taking my hydromorphone tonight to see if it will even releive my pain a tad. The reason I need to know about how long it will take to get out of my system is because I manage to get my butt out to my car and drive to my therapy appointments..don't ask how I manage,,because that in itself baffles me too.. Thank you for your help..

My doctor has me on the drug Opana ER for RSD in my hand. It is a relief to finally have something that helps my pain. Here is my question, I went on a job interview and got the job...(hurray) there is a company car involved. I do not take the Opana during the day even though it is prescribed for me too because i have a 6 year old and i am scared if i have to drive i could have an accident. Anyway, I have to have a drug test for the job, is Opana going to show up? Should I tell the tester that i am taking it? I could try not taking it for 3-4 days but my pain would be out of control......thanks for your help

Yesterday, my friend was on his bycicle, and he got hit from a truck that came from over the hill he was at the bottom at...I was with him...and I called 911, they came here ASAP and worked on him for about 30 minutes... but he died. He died right in front of my eyes, and I don't know what to do. I feel so horrible, and can't get it out of my head. Any advice, please?

I have Strep Throat, and Swollen glands and am taking antibiotics. I know that it's an anti-inflammatory but, Ibuprofen does not seem to be taking away the swelling of my tonsils or glands. I need something to help me swallow food comfortably. Preferrably something over the counter. I need something that will take the pain away for longer than 5 minutes, which is typical of any topical throat spray. Any suggestions?

To give them credit, she was already at a hospital, and I doubt it would have helped the poor woman to dispatch an ambulance to take her to another hospital, with maybe an hour’s delay.I would fault this hospital, the nurses, doctors, and whoever is in charge of the place. Whoever was doing triage should be fired.----Where happened to Rev. Sharpton, to play the "race" card or is he too busy pocking his nose in

Actually, my back started hurting BEFORE my stomach did. It felt like my back was going to get split in half. The pain was vertically about half-way and just a bit to the right of the spine. I only knew it was a stomach thing after it started hurting and the pain went away after vomiting the meat. Not really sure where the liver is but I am worried.

I work 8 hours a day under horrible lighting at a fragrance counter. And normally it doesn't affect me, since yesterday I have had a terrible migraine that rest and tylenol will not work against. I went to the doctor who said she would still only let me take tylenol. Any other safe and natural remedies???
