From personal experience, the hydrocodone works better for me. I had a few herniated disks in my back and the oxycodone just spaced me out but i still was in pain. The hydrocodone took better care of my pain.
Good luck

Oxycodone is the stronger of the medications. The numbers you are giving aren't the amount of Oxycontin and hydrocarbon it's the amount of acetaminophen mixed with the drug. It should have a 5, 7.5 or 10 in front of the higher number that's the amount of actual oxy or hydrocodone in the pill.

OXYCONTIN, IS MUCH STRONGER, BUT BOTH OF THOSE MEDICINES ARE VERY, AND I MEAN VERY ADDICTING. SO IF YOU GET ANY OF THEM PLEASE BECAREFUL. !!!!!!!!!
