Tami,

 I am not suggesting that your husband take opiods but after not being treated for 2 1/2 years and then another 1 1/2 years trying every drug on the market I finally went ahead and started on Oxycontin...it worked but the dosage I have to take is quite high its better that the suffering. Getting addicted in my case was a given, so what...I have to take it for relief. I am sure if it wasnt for that drug I would have used a permenant method of pain relief by now.
