I cannot flounder around must be doing something I am a 35 plus year workacholic. the more I am on my feet the more intense pain is.
It's hard to say whether Opana ER (oxymorphone) will work better for you than oxycodone. Both are opioids and both are for moderate for severe chronic pain, but they are structurally different. If you've been taking oxycodone for awhile, you may have built up a tolerence for it and switching to a different opioid could give you more pain relief. Also, different patients seem to do better on different medications, so it's often a matter of trial and error to find what works best for you. Good luck.
